Hi everyone,

I’m a second-year Psychology student and we’re currently learning multiple regression with categorical predictors in SPSS. I’m using IBM SPSS Statistics 32 and Windows 11.

In our lab, we were instructed to use:

Transform → Create Dummy Variables

We have a categorical variable called sex_num coded as:

• 1 = female
• 2 = male
• 3 = other

According to our lab worksheet, I should move sex_num into “Create Dummy Variables for”, use “dummy” as the root name, and SPSS should then create three new variables (dummy_1, dummy_2, dummy_3) and show a “Variable Creation” section in the Output Viewer.

However, this does not seem to work properly on my SPSS. I tried it with my lecturer as well, so we went through the steps together. We also:

• removed and reinstalled the Create Dummy Variables extension
• closed and reopened SPSS
• tried the procedure again several times

but the expected dummy variables still do not appear the way they do in the worksheet.

Has anyone experienced this in SPSS 32? Could this be an extension or Python integration issue, or is there a setting I may be missing?

Thanks!

Olá, sou estudante e preciso do SPSS para o meu projeto final do curso, a minha universidade não nos oferece a licença e 14 dias do período experimental não me chegam. Alguém me consegue ajudar tem de ser mesmo no SPSS

I am thinking about doing a meta analysis but I don't have much idea about it , Can somebody help me to understand it better.

(You can suggest some U tube vdos or courses related to it.)

I need a recent book for Quantative research in education using spss. Can you help me?

I am broke can't afford spss anyone wanna torrent it with me. Appreciate it.

Hello everyone! How can I get access to IBM SPSS for free? I’ve already used the 15-day free trial, and I only need it for tomorrow’s exam. Are there any options or suggestions?

Thanks!

Hi everyone!

I’m working on a student survey about professional integration and I’m interested in getting the perspective of people with a background in statistics.

The goal is to study the topic through different variables and see what kinds of relationships can be explored statistically.

From a statistical point of view, what variables would you consider particularly relevant for this topic, and what makes a variable useful for further analysis?

I’d also be interested in hearing what types of questions or variables tend to work well for analyses such as cross-tabulations, chi-square tests, correlations or regression.

I’m mainly looking for general methodological perspectives, rather than answers to an assig

Hi! I’m an undergraduate student currently working on our research, and I’d like to ask for advice regarding our questionnaire.

Our questionnaire has two independent sections that measure different constructs:

Behavior - 5-point Likert scale (Never-Always)

Perception - 6-point Likert scale (Strongly Disagree-Strongly Agree)

These are separate constructs, and we are not planning to combine them into one overall score or compare/correlate the two scales. We simply want to analyze and interpret each section separately.

So my question is: is it statistically/methodologically acceptable to have different Likert scales in different sections of the same questionnaire, when the sections measure independent constructs and each section has its own separate computation and interpretation?

Thank you!

I am looking for advice on analyzing and creating variables. I ran an experiment with a mixed design, with both between-group and within-group factors. The study design is 2 (Intervention: between-group) x 2 (Message-Tone: within-group) x 6 (Repeated messages). Participants received an intervention or control, then watched 6 videos in total: 3 with a positive tone and 3 with a negative tone. These videos are randomized. After watching a video, participants evaluated the message content. To collect the data, I needed to create a survey for each one of the condition. For example, 1) Experiment Positive Tone 1, 2) Control Positive Tone 1, 3) Experiment Negative Tone 1, 4) Control Negative Tone 1, etc., for a total of 12 separate surveys.

Now that I have collected all of my data, I have merged the files, cleaned my data, and am now trying to create variables, but when I try to run a reliability analysis for the dependent variable based on message-tone condition, I am getting an error message because "there are too few cases (N = 0) for analysis." I think this is because SPSS is counting missing responses in the between-group condition, since the control group did not respond to the same survey as the experimental group, and vice versa. So there is a big gap in the missing data by case and it looks like the participants in the control group did not respond to items in the experimental group (which they shouldn't have).

My question is whether there is an easier way to analyze this data. Should I create a variable based on the within-group condition, or is there a different way to approach my data? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Hey can I get the free SPSS version pleaseeeeeeee

Hi. I am a complete beginner in R, but I am using it for making graphs for a university assignment. My data imported correctly, but I don't have a very good idea of how to give the Rural and Urban columns their own error bars. It looks like there has been an error bar made for each point? Any assistance would be appreciated, I know it's a pretty basic question. Cheers.

I'm a sociology student taking required stats classes and as part of a powerpoint night with friends, I made a survey about certain moral questions, the data one of which I'm not entirely sure how to process into spss. I have to point out I've only done basic descriptive statistics and only plan to use basic descriptive statistics, and that even then my stats for sociology at the undergraduate level training hasn't exactly been rocket science.

The question tripping me up is this one: In a trolley problem type situation, if two members of the Beatles were on the side you were heading towards and two were on the other, which Beatles would you change the direction of the trolley to kill?

My 13 respondents could check boxes to select which Beatles they'd kill, and other than two respondents who selected every Beatle, they each chose two as instructed. Problem is I don't know how to compile this as a grander tally of which Beatles die in spss, since my data was entered by individual respondent.

This is what I put in but I don't know what I would even do with it, 1 is George, 2 is John, 3 is Ringo, 4 is Paul, and 99 is what I put for those troublemakers who wanted to kill every Beatle. There is no importance to which Beatle they picked first.

Thank you to any kind souls who take pity on me.

hey, cs student here. i need to check my degree thesis real quick and don't have money. i know there's a trial but i need it for more than a month. could someone tell me how can i get a free key? or a cracked spss with all unlocked? thank you all :)

Hey everyone, I haven’t used SPSS before but my lecturer has asked us to get version 32 for our statistics class, however I currently already have version 27. Would there be much differences between them or could I get by with v27? Or perhaps I should get a version in between that’s cheaper?

Hello, I apologize if I sound like a noob. I’m using SPSS for a real life situation for the first time. I have imported Qualtrics data from the survey Autism Spectrum Quotient. The answer options in that survey are “definitely agree”, “slightly agree”, "slightly disagree”, and “definitely disagree”. The issue is that both disagree options would be scored as a 0, and both agree options as 1 (unless inverted). It is 0, 0, 1, 1 instead of the typical 1, 2, 3, 4.

I went to add a variable column which computes the sum of all the answers, saw the resulting scores were way too big, and then realized that SPSS had changed the 0, 0, 1, 1 scoring to 1, 2, 3, 4. When I go in to change the values, it does not allow me to assign 0 or 1 to more than one label. That makes sense for them to do that, but in my situation, I’m unable to get the right scores. I don’t know how to get around this so that I can get it to naturally interpret the values correctly. If you have any suggestions, it would be greatly appreciated!

Hey everyone,

Quick intro: I’m a Certified Master Black Belt. Been teaching Six Sigma for quite a few years now, and if there’s one thing I see students and practitioners struggle with constantly, it’s the massive gap between learning the concepts and actually applying them to real data without getting lost in the software.

Let’s be honest: learning complex stats tools can feel like a steep uphill battle when you just want to get your analysis done.

To help fix that, a few of us MBBs put together weibull.app. It’s a web-based statistical platform built specifically to make common Six Sigma analyses way easier to run and actually digest.

Right now, you can upload data and run more than 40 tools like:

• Capability analysis & control charts
• Regressions and DOE
• Hypothesis tests & reliability analyses
• Plus, it has a built-in DMAIC tracker/editor so you can map out your project and export it.
• and Yes, your own MasterBlackBelt challenging your results and DMAC report.

Honestly, I have two main goals here. First, I wanted to create a straightforward, intuitive tool for professionals and students who need these resources handy without breaking the bank. Second, I just really need your feedback.

If you have a few minutes to check out www.weibull.app, I’d love to hear your thoughts. What’s missing? What feels clunky?

There is a feedback option in the tool.

Appreciate your time and any roasting/critique you have for me!

I recently installed the PROCESS macro but when i tried to run it, it showed error message stating I need 26 or newer versions of spss. Since my institution does not provide it for us and I require it for research, would a kind soul please recommend where i can 🏴‍☠️ or download it from, something safe but wont die after a month of use. 🙏 I would be really grateful, could just dm the link too.
