[@researchwithfawad]

Thanks for the query. yes, the item response scale was a likert scale. The items (SL1 to SL7) were transformed (Mean Score was taken). You can do it by going into the Transform -> Computer Variable and then take the mean for the variable.
As for the data, i am afraid the data is part of an ongoing study and cannot be shared.

[@yaraashour9765]

hello Fawad, thank you for the video. I want to ask why the p value in the spss comment said that correlation is significant at the 0.01 and when you report it you write p < .001 ? is there a differance or the same?

[@researchwithfawad]

It is a normal approach to reporting significant results. When the p value is less than 0.05, we normally report the p value as is. However when it is less than 0.01 or 0.001 we write p < 0.001

[@khalidnovo]

correlation is significant at the 0.01 - means cut-off value
whereas p < .001 means actual results

[@junebyun2180]

Hello, thank you for the video! :) However, I have a question for interpreting the results. I wrote a thesis and my hypothesis was « there is a significant relationship between brand image and masstige purchase intent ». I did Pearson’s Correlation and found a weak correlation (r = .273 and p < 0.001). Could you confirm that, even though the correlation is weak, my hypothesis is supported? And what would it concretely mean? Can I say that this is representative of my data or the population? I’m confused as to if I can give recommendations for masstige companies to work on brand image by only showing that there is a correlation. Could you please enlighten me?

[@researchwithfawad]

You hypothesis is supported as p value is less than 0.05

Good day! Our research statement of the problem goes like this:

A. Savings
B. Budgeting
C. Investing
3. What is the students' consideration in their purchasing decisions in terms of :
A. Social
B. Economic
C. Psychological aspects
We used a 4-point likert scale for the questionnaire and we also used weighted mean for this.
If we are to correlate these two variables using pearson correlation, how can we do it since there are factor isolating questions in each statement of the problem?
Would really be glad for your help. Thank you so much!

If you have a likert scale to measure the constructs, you can correlate them using Peason Correlation.

In the mins 10:07, you mentioned that you had already transform the variables (SL, SE, JS, LS), so how’s you did that? Is that the mean score from overall variables? Please kindly explain, sir! As I don’t catch up with this part 🙏🏼

[@researchwithfawad]

You can do it in SPSS.
You will need to take the sum of the individual items. Let say, i have Organizational Commitment measured using 4 items COM1, COM2, COM3, COM4
If you have it in SPSS,
Go to Transform -> Compute Variable
In the Target Variable Enter the Name of the New Variable that is to be created based on taking the average, let say COMM.
In the numeric expression type in
Mean(COM1, COM2, COM3, COM4)
Press OK. The new variable is created at the end of the Data View and is also visit in the variable view. You have now composite score for each respondent that you can use in regression.
