How to Reverse code negative items/questions of Likert scale in SPSS

[@AlmostNothing...]

Thanks a lot❤ Very helpful for my research work🙏🏾

[@aika7974]

Things that I always didnt quite understand fully is quantitative study. I know how to conduct a research, I know how to choose the appropriate method, framework etc. But still I have no idea on how to pick the appropriate coeficient, realibility and so on. Please it would be very amazing if you could create a video crash course for quantitative study. Best regards

Thank you for the suggestion. I will definitely consider it.

Hi, can you please suggest any book(s)/article(s)/video(s) which help us to learn how to write a research article(s)? Of course, learning about research methodologies, data analyses, etc., are important; however, not knowing how to write/present the literature review, findings, discussions, etc., is even more important. P.S. Thanks for your hard work in developing such informative videos for us.

Need advise on how to interpret the result if the reverse coded item has high or low scores. Please guide

[@researchandanalysis4701]

High scores on reverse-coded items suggest respondents endorse the opposite of the intended trait, while low scores indicate agreement. You can also compare scores with related items.

Hello, the video was helpful, could you support me sharing some articles regarding to this, specifically when to use the reverse code, I mean in which situations can be used or applied. Thanks in advance

I am wondering what to do if all my responses are negatively coded? Do I still transform them? I have three psychometric scales two of them have both negatively and positively scaled values and one of them only has negatively coded variables. What do I do? Do I transform all of them regardless? Also are statements like this negatively coded 'When I see or hear someone who is scared, it makes me feel scared too', I'm assuming its not but I am not sure.

[@researchandanalysis4701]

If all items of a variable are negative, there might be no need to reverse code them. In psychometric scale construction, reverse coding is typically used to ensure that responses to negatively phrased items align with the overall scoring direction of the scale. However, if all items are framed negatively, they inherently contribute to the same directionality of measurement. In such cases, reverse coding may not be necessary as long as the scoring logic is consistent across all items and scales.

Sir kya hum reverse coding hr types k test mein krty hain yeh phr srf reliability chck krny mein..

[@researchandanalysis4701]

In every test.

@@researchandanalysis4701 thanku sir for rply... Sir i have one more question it's your kindness if you will clr my confusion in this regard............... Sir how can we know which items is positive and which item is negative in attitude scale.. Sir because somewhere I read that we can't consider any questions negative just on the bases of not.. If yes then how can we come to know that which question is +ve and which question is -ve.....,....,............ And sir when we do reverse coding doesn't the responses contradict with each other.......... Regards...

[@researchandanalysis4701]

@@kulsumanazir9670 for instance if you are measuring job satisfaction. Out of three item two are directing positive aspect, while one is directing opposite to job satisfaction. In such case you will need to reverse third item before running any analysis. It not the matter of "not", It matter of sense of construct and items measuring that variable must be in the same direction as the direction of the variable.

[@monikasuryawanshi7897]

what about sentence?

[@researchandanalysis4701]

No need to change the sentence, it will remain same in data collection. If it is opposit to other items then reverse coded the respondent's response for that item.
