  • 1.  Matching data intervals with Qualtrics

    Posted Wed August 28, 2024 12:25 PM

    Hello 

    I am very new with using SPSS for statistical analysis. I have created a short 24-question survey in qualtrics. Each question response has five intervals (zero to 20, 20-40, 40-60, 60-80, and 80 to 100. I want to be sure when I import this data set into SPSS that it will match up with the kind of analysis traditionally done with Likert-type data with five choices. I am wondering if there is anything I need to do before students complete the survey and before I attempt to import this data set into SPSS. 

    Thank you for your response. 

    John

    It's not clear to me how your data are actually coded, but it should be straightforward to export from Qualtrics as an SPSS sav file and then read that into SPSS, adjusting any metadata as needed.

    It's always good practice, though, to do a small simulation of the study to flush out any issues before releasing it into the wild.  So, I suggest that you have a few folks take the survey and go through the process.  You might even have already done a pilot that you could export.  Make sure that the question types are defined in a way that will be compatible with the intended analysis.

    Jon.

    I think my design is pretty straight forward .. 24 "I can" statements. I used a slider response button with five intervals. In other words, students would indicate the level of agreement with each statement, choosing one of five points on the scale 0, 20, 40, 60, 80, or 100

    The actual coding of the groups doesn't matter as long as you treat the variables as ordinal, but I think the coding is a little misleading if it is thought to represent percentage agreement.  I would have have just coded as 1 to 5 or 1 to 7.  And it's always good to have an odd number of categories.--

    all the columns look uniform so you'll want to use a loop or do repeat.
