The Bonferroni correction is one way of controlling the problem with multiple tests where doing enough tests is likely to eventually produce a significant result by chance. You can read about it here
Bonferroni is a conservative test. There are a number of less conservative tests. In CTABLES, you can choose no correction, Bonferroni, or Benjamini-Hochberg. Some of the post hoc tests in ANOVA or ONEWAY include multiple testing corrections and some don't. The dialog help explains this.
If you have a number of tests from any procedure and want to control the family-wise error rate, the STATS PADJUST extension command provides six methods that differ in their assumptions and method of control, including Bonferroni.. If you don't already have it, you can install it via Extensions > Extension Hub. It will appear on the menus as Analyze > Descriptive Statistics > Calculate adjusted p values.

Do you know how I would get the adjusted p-values after I run Chi tests / one way ANOVA / linear regression please? I have some tests that appear to be significant but when I use SPSS it is showing that they are insignificant!
Eg the average BMIs are 24.83, 26.6 and 28.16 which I thought were significantly different across the three groups but when I run one-way ANOVA with Bonferroni correction the p-value was 0.191 (I think!).
Thank you

SPSS will not produce exactly the table structure you want, but for the first table, you can come pretty close using the Custom Tables procedure. Be sure to set the measurement levels for the variables correctly, and then put the variables in the rows and the statistics in the columns, You can choose the statistics you want. Then when you export to Excel or wherever, you will be close to the desired table,
For the second table, you would need to copy the regression coefficients manually into the spreadsheet

Hi @Anna Nolan
Are the tables above from the IBM SPSS Statistics Output Viewer? Were these once SPSS Statistics pivot table objects? If so, then I suggest using a TableLook.
First, consult the style manual appropriate for your discipline. Then create a TableLook that corresponds to that manual. For instance, if your preferred style manual is the APA Manual of Style, IBM SPSS Statistics already has a TableLook for that:

Hello,
I am using SPSS to analyse my questionnaire data for my dissertation. I want to formulate a table with my own data but I don't know how to do it. Something like this:
M-type (n = 30) | I-type (n = 34) | E-type (n = 36) | Total | p-valuea | p-value adjustedb |
---|
Age (years) | 30.2 ± 8a | 24.8 ± 4.5b | 30.4 ± 7.7a | 28.4 ± 7.3 | .001 | |
Gender [N (%)] | | | | | .841 | |
Male | 12 (40) | 13 (38) | 12 (33) | 37 (37) | | |
Female | 18 (60) | 21 (62) | 24 (67) | 63 (63) | | |
Race [N (%)] | | | | | .01 | |
Asian | 2 (6.7)a | 15 (44.1)b | 5 (13.9)a | 22(22) | | |
Black | 7 (23.3) | 3 (8.8) | 8 (22.2) | 18 (18) | | |
White | 20 (66.7) | 14 (41.2) | 22 (61.1) | 56 (56) | | |
More than one | 1 (3.3) | 2 (5.9) | 1 (2.8) | 4 (4) | | |
BMI | 25.6 ± 3.5 | 22.2 ± 3.6 | 24.3 ± 3.5 | 24.0 ± 3.8 | .001 | .119 |
Sleep quality | 3.2 ± 2.9a | 5.7 ± 2.5a,b | 5.2 ± 4.0b | 4.8 ± 3.4 | .007 | .004 |
Sleep duration (hr) | 7.9 ± 0.7 | 8.2 ± 1.1 | 8.0 ± 0.9 | 8.0 ± 0.9 | .447 | .117 |
Physical activity (MET) | 3805.3 ± 4515.1a | 2094.5 ± 2152.8b | 2324.8 ± 2175.0a,b | 2690.6 ± 3120.3 | .06 | .023 |
