Introduction to SPSS Software for Beginners (Part 1)

This video tutorial is an introduction to SPSS software, especially for beginners who knows little or nothing about the SPSS Software. In this video, I concentrated on showing you how to enter data directly to the SPSS Data View workspace and how to use the file menu option to load in data saved in excel spreadsheet plus how to define the properties of the data variables.
This video is an interesting one as it deals with the rudimentary knowledge of SPSS, including transitions and communication between the Data View window and Variable View window. Once you have learnt the content of this video, analyzing data using SPSS would become simpler for you. So, it is imperative that you see or watch this video to the end, as this is the first step in the use of SPSS for data analysis.
SPSS is a statistical software for data analysis. It is an acronym which stands for “Statistical Package for the Social Sciences”. It was first packaged in 1968, but since it was acquired by IBM in 2009, it is no longer an acronym, but just a name. called “IBM®SPSS®Statistics”. However, regardless of the name change, the features and functions have remained unchanged.
The most important variable properties in SPSS are "Name, Variable type, Label, Value label, and Measure" among others. In this video, all of these properties have been given detailed attentions and were described to the rudiments.

[@egzona7965]

Hi, Can you help me please
I made changes in the base data and they were also changed in SPSS that I had saved in the email, can they be restored as they were?

[@rosacapallo7517]

Great Video! I'm actually conducting research on social media, more specifically on how online popularity is related with self-esteem. I'm measuring popularity simply as "the number of followers or subscribers". Based on the data I've obtained, I have devised 10 groups for categorizing my data as follows:
Group 1 = 1 - 5000 ,
Group 2= 5001-10K,
Group 3 = 10,001-15K
Group 4 = 15,001-20K
Group 5 = 20,001-25K
Group 6 = 25,001-30K
Group 7 = 30,001 - 35K
Group 8 = 35,001 - 40K
Group 9 = 40,001 - 45 K and
Group 10 = 45K or above
The majority of the respondents fall in group 1 and 2, some fall in 3 and 4, while some fall in 9 and 10. My question is, how do I label them while entering my data in the SPSS as there are no responses for group 5, 6, 7, 8? Should I label the data all the way from 1 to 10 irrespective of the missing groups? or should I label group 9 and 10 as 5 and 6 to maintain continuity (1,2,3,4,5,6) in the SPSS labelling? Would greatly appreciate your help. Thanks!

[@titocanimhansoloeva1341]

Hi, Rosa, Thanks for this question and thanks for finding TMS the right channel for your question.
You have ten groups and among the group, you have respondence for group 1 to group 4, and for group 9 and group 10. But, you do not have respondence for group 5, 6, 7 and 8.
The way you can handle this depends on the structure of your research design, and you also have the liberty to label the values as you deem necessary.
However, because you have respondence for group 9 and group 10, which include data points 40,001-45,000 and data point 45,000 and above, it is imperative that you give the "Value Label" all the way from 1 to 10 while you indicate columns in your data table where there is no respondence as "zeros". These zeros will be reflected in the statistical analysis and plots as groups where there are no respondence.
For the benefit of many others who may have similar problem with their data, I shall produce a short video to demonstrate how to solve such problems. Please, subscribe to be notified.
Thanks.

Wooow!

Don't you have a step-by-step guide on how to calculate Cronbach's alpha using SPSS? if you have, please help me

[@enyindachike6196]

Good day @Titocan. Thank you for your well-explained lecture on the introduction to SPSS.
Please what variable be ranked as ordinal.
You actual didn't give an example with it.
Thank you

[@TitocanMarkSolutions]

Thanks for your useful comment. An example of ordinal variable is Gender (Male and Female), ethnicity (Yoruba, Ibo and Hausa), colour (Black, White, Green, etc).
Nominal variables are strong variables that can be quantified by assigning Numeric values to them for the purpose of analysis.
Nominal variables are also categorical variables.

did you show how to save the file at the end?

[@whatsappme4220]

I need all your tutorials in PDF and to follow and interact with you where necessary.

[@TitocanMarkSolutions]

Thanks for your interest in my works. You can find all my videos @titocanmarksolutions on TH-cam. If you have any questions, kindly reach me via the comment section. But, if you require a private discussion with me that I could consider as a business, then only there could be a need to use WhatsApp or email where necessary. Once again, thank you.

[@UchennaOkafor-qc4tw]

Thank you very much for the tutorial, I followed all through it...
But I noticed that after ascribing the values in the variable view, the properties didn't change in the data view windows.. I need help with that please

[@TitocanMarkSolutions]

If I understand your question very well...
You probably didn't import the data as "Numeric". That means, you loaded your data into SPSS as Nominal or Ordinal variable, and if this is the case, the properties at the Data View will not change even after you have ascribed the Value Labelling. In this case, what you would need to do is to transform the data you loaded, or return to the excel spreadsheet and change all your variables to "Numeric Data" before loading it into SPSS
Please, kindly visit my channel, "Titocan Mark Solutions" to see the relevant videos. There are about three videos you need to see that can help you fast. Kindly go to my TH-cam channel now.
Thank you.

[@contessaa1671]

Hello thank you for your explanation. I have a question, I would like to know how to remove variables (a column) from a data set. I hope you can explain. Thank you

[@TitocanMarkSolutions]

Hi Contessa,
To remove a variable in a column from a set of data, click on the column header to highlight the entire column length. Then, right click on the highlighted column and from the drop down options, click in "CLEAR". This action removes the variable from the dataset However, to keep the delete permanent, you must "RE-SAVE" the file as a new file or as an old file to over-right the old name.
I hope this explanation works. Thanks for supporting my channel.
