Questions related to SPSS
I have a question. I made a comparison between women and men on a series of attitudes concerning romantic relationships. Significant differences were found in a line of T-tests, but I also wanted to say something about the great similarity between the two groups in relation to many issues such as recovery time from separation, responsibility for keeping in touch, and more.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but the places where similarity is found, or no difference is found between women and men, is an important finding no less than significant results in a t-test for differences
Now here is the question
What measure of similarity between groups do we have? Is there is a procedure in SPSS that can give an idea of the extent of similarity
Or should I assume that everything that has no difference has similarity? And how do you claim it?

Hello fellow researchers,
In my research, I investigate two members of the same household. The members of the same household share the same ID number (Nomem_encr). I want to retain household pairs where one member is the household head (position=1) and the other member is the residing child (position=5). Currently, alongside the pairs I desire (position=1 and position=5), I also have household pairs where both members are household heads (position=1 and position=1) or both are residing children (position=5 and position=5). How can I remove these unwanted pairs without losing my desired pairs using SPSS?
Kind Regards,

how to do calibration curves for the prediction models in SPSS, i think it is important in addition to the external validation
I'm the student of M.Phil English, my interest area is to explore teachers perception on implementing inquiry based teaching. I need your guidance regarding theory or theoratical model. In my base paper there is Constructivist theory along with mixed method qualitative and quantitative along with interviews and questionnaire survey. The researcher has not used smart Pls or SPSS to run the data. What'll be suitable for me? Which theory or theoretical model I should use
Hello,
I have data in SPSS from a scale I did, I have 1 variable which is age (separated into 3 categories using values of 1-3), a 2nd variable which is gender (again separated into 3 categories using value), and finally, I have a 3rd IV of education level (this is separated into 5 categories), I need to compare each category against their scores on a 10 item scale.
I am measuring attitudes, each person completed the same scale and I have input them into SPSS but I am unsure which test I need to do to see if there is a difference between each variable's category and their scale scores.
In my research, I have 11 multiple-choice questions about environmental knowledge, each question with one correct option, three incorrect options, and one "I don't know" option (5 options in total). When I coded my data into SPSS (1 for correct and 0 for incorrect responses) and ran a reliability analysis (Cronbach's Alpha), it was around 0,330. I also ran a KR20 analysis since the data is dichotomous but still not over 0,70.
These eleven questions have been used in previous research, and when I checked them, they all stated a reliability over 0,80 with a similar sampling to the sampling of my research. This got me thinking whether I was doing something wrong.
Low reliability might be caused by each question measuring knowledge from different environmental topics? If this is the case, do I still have to state its reliability when using the results in my study? For example, I can give correct and incorrect response percentages, calculate the sum points, etc.
Thank you!
I am using IBM SPSS version 21 as a statistical analysis software. My research is about comparing 2 diferent populations. Let's say it's group A and group B.
Each group has variables changing between 2 different timelines : T0 and T1, and these variables are qualitative. Let's say one of these variables is called X.
X is coded either 0 for no, or 1 for yes.
As a qualitative variable, the frequency of X is calculated in percentage by SPSS.
The difference between the frequencies in T0 and T1 is calculated manually by this formula : ( Freq of X(T0) in group A - Freq of X (T1) in group A )/ Freq of X(T0) in group A * 100
So we obtain the variation between these 2 timelines in percentage.
My question is : how do i compare the variation of group A versus the variation of group B between these two timelines (T0 and T1) using SPSS ?
Hi! My hypothesis have 2 Likert scaled variables to check the effect on one dichotomous dependent variable. Which test to put in SPSS? Can the dichotomous variable later be checked as a DV in mediation analyses?
1. Is Smartpls the only way to deal with formative constructs?
If we have formative constructs, cant we use SPSS and AMOS? If not, that means that all the studies done on SPSS and AMOS are having only reflective constructs (having similar meaning items)?
2. What to do if i have formative constructs, but want to do EFA & CFA?. Can I do ANOVA, MANOVA and other multivariate tests on formative constructs?
Hey! I want to know the hazard ratio for male vs female using keplan-meier survival command, however so far in SPSS they can only compute survival plot and statistic significance without telling me the Hazard Ratio, is there any way to compute it? (Using log rank, it only provides significance)
I have eight index items but respondents are randomly assigned to answer four of the eight items. How do I create an index based on the items. I can't simply ask the eight items together because everyone has missing data so no one is included in the completed index. Thanks for your help!
1. If I plan to do all data analysis using IBM SPSS and not using AMOS, do i need to do CFA?
2. If not, then how to judge convergent and discriminant validity of the instrument (survey questionnaire)?.
3. This doubt has come because, if I am not doing SEM, then why should i develop a measurement model in AMOS.
Hi all!
I've been collecting data on a group of 8 chimpanzees at Chester Zoo for my dissertation. The group consists of 4x males and 4x females, all of which have different hierarchical status' and ages.
I have been doing random focal observations with a checksheet consisting of 4 state behaviours (timed) and 6 behaviours (frequencies). I would start a random focal observation when a stressful context arose (such as high visitor numbers, anticipation to feeding, or feeding time)and denote the durations or frequencies of behaviours exhibited by that individual for 15 minutes. Then at the following visit, I would observe the same individual at the same time but under a non-stressful context (therefore utilising the Matched Control Method).
This process repeated for 4 months and I now have a complete data set.
I am <really> struggling on 1. How to use SPSS, and 2. What tests would be ideal to use? As you can imagine there is quite alot of data which hold different values so you can hopefully see my confusion around this.
Ideally, the statistical analysis of my data will reveal which contexts in the zoo precipitate an increase in stress the most (e.g. high visitor numbers, anticipation to feeding, feeding). I also want to be able to compare this data to the hierarchial status' and ages of the individuals.
Any help would be so appreciated. Thanks in advance!
I need to find if the relationship between two variables is linear or not. I'm using IBM SPSS. I found that some people apply Test for Linearity (Analyze->Compare Means->Options->Test for linearity) while others apply Regression Test (Analyze->Regression->Linear). What is the difference between these two tests and how to interpret the results? I applied the Test of Linearity but I don't know how to interpret the results. Please guide me。 (Screenshot attached)

Hello, I am trying to evaluate the group differences of the change from baseline in an EEG index (fMMN_amplitude), using the Linear Mixed Models process. I entered Cluster (three groups), time (two visits), Cluster × time interaction as fixed effects, baseline MMN_amplitude value as a covariate, and participant as a random effect for the intercept. I used EMMEANS to obtain the change from baseline of MMN_amplitude in each Cluster. Picture 1 is the command lines I used.
However, I could not find a way to compare the change values between groups. Can someone please let me know if there is a way to acquire such group differences and the effect sizes, just like the mean difference versus placebo in the Picture 2 (from DOI: 10.1016/S2215-0366(20)30513-7). It's like computing [(g2t2 - g2t1) - (g1t2 - g1t1)]. SPSS command lines will be best, GUI operations are also fine. Any help will be appreciated!!

If a research has 3 independent variables and each variable has 10 components; To perform exploratory factor analysis, should I do the kmo test for independent variables separately or should I do this test for all variables at the same time?
is there any mistake in the data or there is a probability of no connection between the variables? Kindly help me with the interpretation. Also, explain me the R square as well. I have attached the framework too.
Hi,
Can anyone explain if there is a better system available to analyze data than the IBM SPSS?

I am using a Questionnaire that generates a total score using Likert scale responses 1-5 however there is an option for "Not applicable" how should this values be treated
Originally, I intended to conduct independent samples t-test and one-way ANOVA in SPSS for analysing my data. However, when I examined the normality of the dependent variable (DV) for checking their assumptions, it showed that my DV is highly skewed as the attached photo.
My DV is measured through an open-ended question and it is a continuous variable about participants’ predictions of the duration of an emotion, ranging from 0 to almost 300 unit. Sample size is around 1000.
Since the normality assumption is violated, I am wondering:
- Whether I should conduct (1) nonparametric tests instead (e.g. Mann-Whitney u test and Kruskal-Wallis H test) or (2) a generalised linear model (which allows for the DV to have a non-normal distribution) by specifying the model as gamma with log link instead? Or (3) conduct both but when reporting the results, I say something like “because the results are similar, I will only report the parametric ones” (which is the generalised linear model)?
- I am also interested in examining the moderating effect of a categorical variable on the relationship between a continuous IV and a DV. Therefore, even if the answer to question 1 is "conducting non-parametric tests", I still would like to know whether I can perform the generalised linear model and examine the interaction of the IV and moderator, even my DV is not normally distributed?
Thank you in advance for your advice.
In my study, I have a within-subject independent variable (the DV was measured twice for each participant), and I am also interested in examining the effect of participants’ demographic characteristics (between-subject) on the dependent variable. Therefore, I am running a mixed model ANOVA using SPSS.
Here are my questions:
- I noticed that the SPSS output of the mixed model ANOVA is slightly different (in both the main effects of the two IVs and their interaction effect) when I (1) run the analyses for each demographic characteristic individually and (2) include all the demographic characteristics in the between-subjects factor column simultaneously. Why is this the case? (Is this related to multiple comparisons and type I error? and/or different missing data in the multiple analyses?) And which one is the correct way to do so?
- One of the demographic characteristics I am interested in examining is a continuous variable (e.g. age). However, since the IV must be categorical for ANOVA, can I include the continuous variable as a covariate in the analysis but interpret the results the same as if it is an independent variable? If not, then what analysis can I perform in SPSS to examine the effect of a continuous between-subject IV on a continuous DV, along with the categorical within-subject IV?
Thank you in advance for your advice.
In detail, when utilizing the data from 1998 to 2014 as the training dataset, the Ljung-Box (Q) statistic, particularly Ljung-Box (18), is not generated in SPSS. However, if the analysis incorporates the entire dataset spanning from 1998 to 2021, the statistics are produced without issue.
For our 2x2 experiment (4 groups), we found that those in condition A did recognize their manipulation accurately, but that there is a spillover effect and the two groups in condition B also report different levels of A.
- 2x2 scenario experiment on e-mails
- condition 1 content positive vs negative
- condition 2 tone polite vs impolite
What we see is that the two groups in positive content rate their email as more positive in content than those in negative content - so manipulation successful. But, those in polite tone also rate their e-mail als more positive in content than those in the impolite tone condition. But the F-values are quite far apart.
How do I show that despite this spillover, the F-value of the manipulation of content is so much greater (signif) than the F-value for the tone groups?
I want to show that these two F-values differ significantly - right? Using SPSS, could anyone recommend the steps to take here. I've been recommended a Wald test but am struggling.
I am conducting a study that involves analyzing categorical outcome variables with multiple levels and want to employ multinomial logistic regression analysis in SPSS for my data. However, I'm uncertain about the appropriate steps and procedures to follow in SPSS to conduct this analysis accurately. Specifically, I need guidance on how to input my data, set up the model, interpret the output, and assess the model's goodness-of-fit. Any detailed explanations, step-by-step instructions, or recommended resources regarding multinomial logistic regression analysis in SPSS would be greatly appreciated.
I think SPSS made my computer slow. Be careful when run in your computer.
Hello everyone, for my dissertation I have two predictor variables and one criterion variable. In one of the predictor variable- I further have 5 domains and it doesn't have a global score so in that case can i used multiple regression or i have to perform step wise linear regression seperately for 6 predictors(5 domains and another predictor) ?- keeping in mind the assumption of multicollinearity.
Theory suggests that these latent variables (SEFM, SEFI, SIF, and SER) variables are correlated.
hi, i'm currently writing my psychology dissertation where i am investigating "how child-oriented perfectionism relates to behavioural intentions and attitudes towards children in a chaotic versus calm virtual reality environment".
therefore i have 3 predictor variables/independent variables: calm environment, chaotic environment and child-oriented perfectionism
my outcome/dependent variables are: behavioural intentions and attitudes towards children.
my hypotheses are:
- participants will have more negative behavioural intentions and attitudes towards children in the chaotic environment than in the calm environment.
- these differences (highlighted above) will be magnified in participants high in child-oriented perfectionism compared to participants low in child oriented perfectionism.
i used a questionnaire measuring child-oriented perfectionism which will calculate a score. then participants watched the calm environment video and then answered the behavioural intentions and attitudes towards children questionnaires in relation to the children shown in the calm environment video. participants then watched the chaotic environment video and then answered the behavioural intentions and attitudes towards children questionnaire in relation to the children in the chaotic environment video.
i am unsure whether to use a multiple linear regression or repeated measures anova with a continuous moderator (child-oriented perfectionism) to answer my research question and hypotheses. please please can someone help!
My current study has almost 1000 responses. However, for one of the item I am interested in examining, it is not normally distributed (see attached image 1 for your reference). Since participants’ responses are really diverse on that item, so even removing some of the extreme outliers still cannot solve the problem.
I would like to run a moderation analysis using this item as the dependent variable. From different source of information on the Internet, I learned that normality should not be an issue for PROCESS macro as it provides the function to bootstrap.
From one tutorial, I saw that in order to not to care about the normality issue, we should select the “Bootstrap inference for model coefficients” option (see attached image 2 for your reference). However, from the other tutorials I read, they only mention about the number of bootstrap samples, without mentioning that we have to select the “Bootstrap inference for model coefficients” option. I tried to run the analyses with and without this option, and it changed from significant interaction effect of IV and moderator (when this option is not selected) to insignificant (when this option is selected).
I cannot really find the purpose of the “Bootstrap inference for model coefficients” option in Hayes's book or on the Internet, and I am also not really good at statistics. Therefore, I would like your help in the following:
- Is bootstrapping performed even if I did not select the “Bootstrap inference for model coefficients” option in SPSS PROCESS macro?
- If my dependent variable is not normally distributed, should I select the “Bootstrap inference for model coefficients” option to ensure more accurate results? If possible, can you also explain a little bit what this option is about?
Thank you in advance for your kind assistance.
The AVE of the scale is below 0.5 and rest of the parameters viz. CR and discriminant validity are above the threshold level
Hello!
I have done psychometric analysis using both SPSS and R, and the values are similar, but some are not the same, is this usual? Has it happened to anyone else even with same estimators?
Thank you for your feedback on this matter.
All the best,

SPSS doesn't offer Aligned Rank sum test in version 17-21? If one were to report a multiple time data where continuous variable werent normal, would normalizing and using anova not amount to simple split plot anova? what of if the data is ranked originally, how can one handle it possible with these older SPSS versions?
I performed the mixed model ANOVA analyses and repeated measures analyses.
I need answer for this question:
What is considered small, medium or large effect size and cite reference as needed? Also explain, how should I calculate or examine effect size. I used SPSS.
I am a bit confused about the interaction effect of a two-way ANOVA and moderation.
Example:
For example, I want to examine how the intensity of exercise (i.e. 1 = walking; 2 = running) affects the amount of calories burned. I suspect that higher intensity exercise (i.e. running than walking) lead to more calories burned. However, I suspect that the gender of the participants may also have an effect. For example, among male, higher intensity exercise should lead to more calories burned than female.
In this case, should I use (1) two-way anova, and see whether the two independent variables (i.e. "intensity of exercise" and "gender of the participants") have a significant interaction effect; OR (2) moderation analysis using PROCESS Macro of SPSS and see whether the interaction term of the independent variable (i.e. "intensity of exercise") and the moderator (i.e. "gender") is significant?
My confusion:
To me, it seems that no matter which analyses, as long as it gives me a significant result, I can still interpret the result the same way, and answer my hypothesis. Therefore, I would like to know the rationale in choosing which analyses to use in similar cases. Is it related to the nature of my variables (i.e. categorical/ continuous) or are there other reasons?
Can anybody help? Thank you.
I am analysing a set of data which have both within-subject and between-subject variables. However, since my assigned task is just simply focusing on part of this data set, I am not interested in examining the within-subject variable.
To make you understand it easier, here is an example:
The original study is to examine how the branding of the product (independent variable) affects participants' happiness (dependent variable), and all participants are required to try both brand A and brand B product. However, extending from this original study, I was asked to examine how participants' demographic may actually affect their happiness instead.
My questions are:
- Can I run a mixed model ANOVA and only focus on the main effect of the between-subject variable while ignore the main effect of the within-subject variable and the interaction effect? Is this an acceptable way to analyse the data for academic publication?
- Since participants are required to try both brand A and brand B product, my dependent variable is recorded by two separated columns in the data set (one for brand A's dv and another for brand B's dv). So, what should I do if the analyses that I want to run does not allow me to specify the within-subject variable. Even if I use the "restructure" function in SPSS and make the dependent variable to be in one column only, I still cannot run the analyses as it violated the assumption of the test (e.g. independence of observation) and make the results less reliable. For example, I want to run the moderation analyses using PROCESS Marco in SPSS, but it only allow me to put one item in the dependent variable option. I can restructure the data, so that my dependent variable would only be in one column. However, I still cannot run the analyses as it violated the assumption of independence of observation. In this case, what should I do?
How can I solve these problems using SPSS? Can anyone help? Thank you
Right now I am wondering what I might be possibly doing wrong with my SPSS syntax. I have got 2 already dichotomized variables and I would need to combine them to make the 3rd one.
If var1 and var2 = 0, than it should be 0, and if var1 or var2 = 1 (or both of them), then it should be 1.
I tried this syntax (and many more :D), it is just not working.
if(roboSV_19_more = 0 and roboSV_19_less = 0) roboSV_19_together = 0.
if(roboSV_19_more = 1 or roboSV_19_less = 1) roboSV_19_together = 1.
I would be very greatful for any of your help, tipps and tricks. Thank you!
I have data from a questionnaire study structured like so:
- Age - Ordinal (18-24, 25-34, 35-44, 45-54, 55+)
- Gender - Nominal (Male, Female)
- AnxietyType - Nominal (Self-diagnosed, Professionally diagnosed)
- AnxietyYears - Scale
- ChronicPain - Nominal (No, Yes)
- Response - Ordinal (Strongly Agree, Agree, Neutral, Disagree, Strongly disagree)
I am using SPSS to run an ordinal logistic regression with 'response' as my dependent variable and the other 5 as my independent variables.
When putting the data into SPSS I have coded it as follows:
- Age - (18-24, 0) (25-34, 1) (35-44, 2) (45-54, 3) (55+, 4)
- Gender - (Male, 0) (Female, 1)
- AnxietyType - (Self-diagnosed, 0) (Professionally diagnosed, 1)
- AnxietyYears - Scale
- ChronicPain - (No, 0) (Yes, 1)
- Response - (Strongly Agree, 1) (Agree, 2) (Neutral, 3) (Disagree, 4) (Strongly disagree, 5)
When I run the regression, this is my output with a significant result highlighted in yellow (attached).
From what I've read and understood about interpreting the results of an ordinal logistic regression, this is saying that:
"The odds ratio of being in a higher category of the dependent variable for males versus females is 2.244" which is saying that males are more likely to agree more strongly than females.
However, when I create a graph looking at the split of responses between males and females it shows that females are actually more likely to agree more strongly than males (see attached).
I would be grateful if anyone could help me to understand what I'm doing wrong - either in my modelling or my interpretation.
Hello,
I greatly appreciate your help in my following statistic task. I need to reduce the number of financial ratios (FRs) - currently 20 - that best represent the firms' profitability in the technology sector. These 20 FRs were selected from 32 sources - practitioners and peer-reviewed articles.
I plan to reduce the 20 financial ratios through diverse steps, starting with the "Intercorrelation Matrix Analysis" applied to the 20 FRs of 10 companies (random sample) over the past five years, using SPSS (29). It will eliminate FRs with weak inter-correlation – i.e., ≤ ± .5.
FRs data will be derived from the firms' annual reports.
PROBLEM: How do I build the intercorrelation matrix with the 20 financial ratios data (tabulated in Excel) from 10 firms over the past five years using SPSS (29)?
Should I perform a Matrix Correlation Analysis over the period by the single firm? If so, how do I interrelate the results of the five Correlation Matrixes - one for each firm - to eliminate those financial ratios with weak correlation?
Or,
Is it correct to create a single Excel table with 20 variables (FRs) columns and 25 Rows (5 firms x 5 years) and then export it to SPSS for the correlation analysis?
Is there any better approach for this first reduction step?
Thank you very much for your time and support!
I am trying to examine the effects of studentification on private residents in a studentified area, either it is positive or negative (which is coded as 1 or 0 respectively) as the dependent variable.
The independent variables are effects of studentification (across literatures) on 5-likert scale.
The question is am I to also dichotomies the likert scale responses from (strongly disagree, disagree, neutral, agree and disagree) to (1: positive, 0: negative)?
R. Shanthi's book ''MULTIVARIATE DATA ANALYSIS: Using SPSS and AMOS'' has been required for academic work. If there is someone who has this book, can I provide it? It is a big help for me.. Thanks
I am conducting a cross-sectional study from NHANES database. I used the "Full.sample.2.year.interview.weight" to weight the data. However, I do not know where should I put the decimal to finish my data analysis.
The total sample size before weighting is 5639 participants.
If I put the decimal after 5 numbers, the sample size will be decreased by 50% and will be around 2700 participants.
If I put the decimal after 4 numbers, the sample size will be increased by 200% and will be more than 10,000 participants.
I am attaching a screen shot after weighting the data.
I used SPSS for analysis, tab (data), weight by "Full.sample.2.year.interview.weight".
Would anyone happen to know how the percentages are calculated in SPSS for the predicted and observed categories? Is it something you can do by hand or does SPSS use some kind of internal calculation? The type of output I'm referring to is the screenshot below. Huge thanks in advance for any help!
I am trying to report the results of a study that employs a 2 (between subjects: tx vs ctrl) X 4 (within subject: time :T0,T1, T2 and T3) mixed factorial ANOVA. I have analyzed the data using both SPSS and JAMOVI.
Personally, I find the JAMOVI results cleaner and the graphs of estimated marginal means much better because SPSS is not graphing with error bars at all. and JAMOVI tables are much simpler.
Question is: why does SPSS provide a multivariate table here for an analysis that is essentially univariate (One continuous DV), then follows it up with separate tables for within and between subjects factors?
Second, from the JAMOVI output, I have been using the interaction term posthoc testing to breakdown the significant interaction- I wanted to verify this is essentially doing the same thing as a simple main effects analysis. conceptually this is testing each level of each factor within each level of the other factor- so this should be okay, right?
I will also need the interpretation concerning the reference variable.
Is there a post hoc test for Kruskal-Wallis test rather than Bonferroni? AND why Bonferroni used as a reference post hoc test in non-parametric test in SPSS?
I found the macro and the dataset in David Kenny's website
But this macro was developed for versions 16 and 18, and I tried with the version 20 and it didnt work. Did anyone try to use this macro with the version 20 and it worked? Or does anyone have an updated version of the macro which is compatible with version 20?
Thanks in advance!
I wish to use SPSS to achieve minimum-maximum normalization (from 0 to 1)) for 5 variables. How can I do that?
In an earlier version of SPSS I was able to get visual means for each group (see picture below) when creating scatterplots with one categorical and one scaled variable.
Now I have tried for hours to find out in my updated SPSS 26.0 how to do it, but I can't figure it out.
I have tried do use the same syntax as earlier, but that does not create mean-dots, which lead me to think I used some modification. Still can't figure it out?
Any suggestions?
Hi all,
I want to do a repeated measure Ancova with constant covariates. The IBM SPSS website mentions you could do it using a two-step approach in this software (https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/repeated-measures-constant-covariates-glm). Can someone please verify this is a proper way to do it?
Many thanks in advance!
I want to study the effect of covariates (age, sex, cause of injury, lesions, income, subjective social status), and these are multi categorical. Can anyone suggest how to add them in my model of analysis?
Should I transform them into dummy variables or what?
I firstly put them as they are in SPSS, and it shows output without error.
Response will be highly appreciated
Hello, I am trying to run a t-test on differences in mental well-being in the last month (average of 14 sentences) between two groups, women I have 200 and men I have only 34 who answered on the questionnaire. when processing SPSS shows me that there are only 12 men, why is that? Frustrated from a whole day of trying to understand where the problem is and why 22 more people ( that I really need) are disappearing in the data analysis
I have performed a Box-Cox transformation of a response variable in multiple linear regression in SPSS. As I understand, in order to correctly interpret and present the data (B, t, CI for B and p), I need to back-transform the data by applying the formula for Box-Cox back-transformation to B, t, CI for B. But the formula specifies lambda and I can't find it anywhere in SPSS. Could you please tell me where I can find the lambda to apply this formula for back transformation?
Hi everyone
Can someone help with the following observation while applying simple linear regression in SPSS and STATA
Dependent variable: Ferritin levels (ng/ml)
Independent: Age of the respondent (years)
STATA results: Correlation coefficient = 1.7 (see the image), How can this be possible?
SPSS results: Correlation coefficient = 0.17 (different from STATA) and a p value of 0.01 for such a weak coefficient.
DATA set is SAME in both STATA and SPSS
Can someone explain the coefficient of more than 1 in STATA and a different result in SPSS
I am hoping someone can advise on the use of the Bonferroni correction. I am struggling to understand how and when to use it.
I have been part of a pilot study evaluating balance in older adults. We used several balance measures (sway area, sway velocity) with different parameters (eyes open/closed, solid/compliant surface), plus a timed functional test, measured on three occasions with the same subjects. I have performed separate repeated measures ANOVAs for each measure and parameter combination (7 in total) using SPSS, alpha set at .05. I understand the need to use the Bonferroni correction with the pairwise comparisons and that SPSS does this. However, I am unsure whether the correction needs to be applied across all the ANOVAs, namely whether I should set the corrected alpha level to 0.05/7 = 0.0071 when determining statistical significance for each individual ANOVA.
I understand there are debates around minimising Type I errors at the expense of Type II errors, but is the approach of using alpha of 0.0071 for each individual ANOVA fundamentally correct?
Scenario - There is an IV and DV. IV is measured in 5 point likert scale questions and DV is measured in 7 point likert scale questions.
Doubts -
01. Can we run a test like regression analysis directly irrespective of differences in measures?
02. if NOT, what are the transformation techniques available to transform data into same scale?

I calculated my ms thesis data by SPSS, I think excel is difficult.
I calculated a thesis of my sister. That calculation found the error result.
I've completed my Ms thesis data calculation by SPSS.
When conducting a logistic regression analysis in SPSS, a default threshold of 0.5 is used for the classification table. Consequently, individuals with a predicted probability < 0.5 are assigned to Group "0", while those with a predicted probability > 0.5 are assigned to Group "1". However, this threshold may not be the one that maximizes sensitivity and specificity. In other words, adjusting the threshold could potentially increase the overall accuracy of the model.
To explore this, I generated a ROC curve, which provides both the curve itself and the coordinates. I can choose a specific point on this curve.
My question now is, how do I translate from this ROC curve or its coordinates to the probability that I need to specify as the classification cutoff in SPSS (default: 0.50)? The value must naturally fall between 0 and 1.
- Do I simply need to select an X-value from the coordinate table where I have the best sensitivity/specificity and plug it into the formula for P(Y=1)?
- What do I do when I have more than one predictor (X) variable? Choose the best point/coordinate for both predictors separately and plug in the values into the equation for P(Y=1) and calculate the new cutoff value?
Sometime ago for ease of calculations, I have given the following exercise to my students to find out if there is any significant difference between the pre-test and post-test scores (with a fixed difference of 3 between each pair):
Pre-test: 5 -8- 10- 11-14-17
Post-test: 8-11-13-14-17-20
Surprisingly, students came back to me with no possible answer! SPSS provides no answer either for this type of problems as the denominator in t-test formula turns to be zero and calculations could not continue. Simply because a division by zero is undefined.
I am wondering if there is any solutions for such problems?

I have a large dataset containing many dates per participant. I want to creat a new variable containing the number of unique dates per participant. I have been trying to figure this out but it does not work. An example of how the dataset looks like you see below:
participant 1 - date.1 - date.2 - date.3 - date.4 ... date.412
participant 2 - date.1 - date.2 - date.3 - date.4 ... date.412
Dates are in the format: 31-oct-20
Some participants have only 10 dates, others have 412 dates
Any idea how I can create this new variable containing the number of unique dates?
Can anyone please explain how to analyse data collected using brief cope 28 item scale?
Like i won't get the total score rather than score for each subscale and then it is mentioned in a research to use normative data of a heart failure study for calculating percentile ranks. Can anyone please help as I dont get the data analysis part after collection using this scale?
Thank you this question has been answered.
Hello,
Question regarding my Master Thesis research design and approach. I'm doing research on a dataset If earnings management has a negative relationship with the use (AND degree) of alternative performance measures. It's an european data set so I also want to examine if the ESMA Guidelines had any effect on this relationship (moderator).
Whereas
- Earnings Management is measured by Modified Jones Model (numeric)
- Alternative performance measures (or Non-Gaap Earnings) is measured by a proxy (1 if mentioned; 0 otherwise) and measured by I/B/E/S earnings (numeric)
- ESMA is measured by a proxy (1 if > 2017; 0 otherwise)
Also got some controlevariables/covariaties but not necessary to mention right now.
My thesis supervisor can't help me with the fact what analysis I should run in SPSS to get to the right answers. I'm doing my best to find solutions on the internet or reading the book Discovering statistics using spss statistics (Andy Field). I just don't understand what I 'm supposed to do if my moderator is a proxy because I also assume a relationship with this proxy to the use and degree of Alternative performance measures (or Non-Gaap Earnings).
Can someone help me out please?
Hi,
I have just installed and used spss 29. I was using spss 27.
I am analyzing data with a crossed random effects mixed model.
I am using syntax for this type of analysis. With the exact same syntax and data base I obtain different results with spss 29 and spss 27!
Specifically, the same model (that I call model 3) run with spss 27 was not giving me a warning whereas with spss 29 I get a warning (The final Hessian matrix is not positive definite although all convergence criteria are satisfied. The MIXED procedure continues despite this warning. Validity of subsequent results cannot be ascertained.).
Another case: with a slightly simpler model that I call model 2, I have no warnings but the results with spss 27 and spss 29 are not identical (e.g. BIC is different).
Is anyone experiencing the same or similar ?
I am using SPSS to analyze measurements of systolic and diastolic blood pressure in late adolescence. I want to make a binary hypertension variable, so I need to calculate percentiles for SBP and DBP. However, I need to adjust these for height, age, and gender. Is there a way I can easily do this in SPSS?
I have read few articles that used SPSS for Artificial Neural Network analysis with survey data. What is your opinion about the user friendliness of SPSS in this regard? Do you refer any other software package?
Hey there, I‘m using SPSS for the statistical synthesis of my Meta-Analysis and I can only choose log(OR), log(RR) etc as an Effect sizes. Therefore my forest plot is also on a logarithmic scale… I want my forest plot with the measure size RR or OR, not log(RR) and log(OR). Does anybody have experience with this topic and does know how I can change this?
Hello,
Please I need to perform a logistic regression analysis using 2 independent variables, each has multiple indicators using SPSS. For example, the independent variable perceived behavioral control (PBC) is measured using two indicators, which are self-efficacy and easy-to-start (each is binary). The other independent variable is the subjective norm, measured by 2 indicators (respect and motivation), each of which is also binary.
My question is: how to deal with the multiple indicators for one independent variable when performing the analysis?
In case that I want the outcome to appear like in the attached table, in which it includes only the independent variables (not each indicator individually). I assume that I need to compute each variable by summing its indicators but I am not sure if this is correct. So, I need the assistance of experts.
I hope that I am able to communicate my inquiry properly.
Thank you.
I just received the latest TOC alert for Behavior Research Methods, and this article caught my eye:
I've not had time to read it yet, but judging from a quick glance, I wonder if the main "problem" might be that users do not always take time to RTFM* and therefore, do not understand what their software is doing? In any case, I thought some members of this forum might be interested.
Cheers,
Bruce

Hello,
I need to estimate a generalized linear mixed model (GLMM).
When using R, I need to choose a specific fixed effect (one of the independent variables in the model) to have a random slope according to a random variable such as subject ID.
But when using SPSS, I can't choose a specific fixed effect to have a random slope.
I asked chatGPT about it and it responded as follows:
The difference you're observing in the specification of random slopes for specific fixed effects between SPSS and R might be related to how the two software packages handle mixed-effects modeling. This difference is not necessarily due to the capabilities of the software but rather the way they present the options to the user. Here's why this might be the case:
SPSS:
In SPSS, the interface for specifying mixed-effects models is designed to be user-friendly and may abstract away some of the technical details. It allows users to specify random slopes and intercepts for subjects using the Repeated option or Mixed Linear Models (MIXED) procedure.
SPSS may automatically set up random slopes for all fixed effects by default, which is a more automated approach, but it doesn't give you explicit control over which fixed effects have random slopes.
R (lme4 package):
R, specifically with the lme4 package, provides more flexibility and control in specifying mixed-effects models. This can be both an advantage and a challenge for users.
In R, you have to explicitly specify which fixed effect(s) should have random slopes by including them in the model formula. This explicit control allows for more customized modeling but can be more complex and requires users to have a good understanding of their data and the modeling process.
1. Can someone please confirm this answer?
2. Is there a way to estimate a mixed-effect logistic regression model in R that would be the same as the estimated model in SPSS?
I would appreciate any clues about this issue! Thanks!
Hello Experts,
My outcome is a scale variable (3 separate domains-continuous)
Covariates are mixed (categorical and continuous)
I am developing a 3 level model (care aides, unit and facility), unfortunately i found a warning message (iteration was terminated but convergence has not been achieved. the mixed procedure continues despite this warning. subsequent results produced are based on the last iteration. validity of the model fit is uncertain). In this scenario, R2 and ICC was very poor.
Now, I moved to 2 level model (care aides, Unit). here the same problem, I can not put my important covariates in this model. If i exclude some of my important covariates, there are no warning message.
Same models works in STATA but SPSS showed warning message.
Q1> Is that the limitations for SPSS?
Q2> Is there any options that If I can change, the problem will be resolved?
Hello seniors, I am a PhD aspirant and intrested in Mixed Methods research. I want to learn Qualitative Data Analysis software but a little bit confused in which one will be better suited to my PhD thesis. Seniors please guide me which software should I learn for qualitative data analysis?
Thanks and regards
I have collected data through survey from in 5 point likert scale where 1 as Strongly Disagree to 5 as Strongly Agree. I have total 20 questions in 4 constructs: economy, psychology, political and social. Among 20 questions, around 8 questions are in negative statements. So, after entering all data into SPSS file; I did reverse coding for those 8 statements of negative meaning. Here, I am in confusion for the next step; that should I change these 8 negative meaning statements into positive meaning statements? If I have to change, what should be the format of sentence?
For example,
negative statement: I am a bad student.
positive statement : I am not a bad student. (option-1)
or, I am a good student. (option-2)
If I have to change the sentence, which option will be appropriate?
Thanks and regards.
In a causal model (such as multiple IVs and single DV) with presence of a mediator or moderator, do we have to consider such mediator or moderator when assessing the parametric assumptions or do we have ignore them and consider only the IV/s and DV in the model?
Hello everyone,
I am conducting analysis on my data and have mostly already figured it out. However, there is still one problem I haven't been able to master.
Statistical program: SPSS 29.0
Cross-over study design with NINE (9) subjects and TWO (2) treatments:
Subjects were given treatment 1 or 2 on two separate study dates. At the end of the study all subjects had received both treatments.
After administering the treatments, the patients were monitored for blood parameter changes on NINE (9) separate measuring time points.
What I aim to do, is to compare the two different treatments and have used RM analysis to do so. Initially I defined Treatment(2) and Time(9) as Within-subject-factors and have been able to gain an answer to most of my questions.
But what I haven't understood yet is how can I compare individual measured time points (for example treatment 1 blood parameter at 30 mins compared to treatment 2 blood parameter value at 30 min) between the treatments through the RM ANOVA - to my knowledge and understanding, the output does not provide this and I haven't been able to figure out how to get it out of the analysis? Or can I? Or do I have to go about it with a different analysis completely?
Thank you!
Best Regards, Isa
If iI use EFA on SPSS to explore the factors and later I intend to check the reliability and validity of these explored factors using SmartPLS rather than CFA on AMOS, will it be valid approach?
Hello,
I want to perform a single mediation (model 4, hayes) with Process in SPSS.
Before I can do that, I have to check the assumption for linearity. I created a matrix scatter-plot, but because my independent variable is binary it doesn't look right. I have 1 dependent variable, which is metric.
Does anyone know, how I can check for the linearity assumption, if my independent variable is binary and single level (Intervention group vs. control group)?
I am using SPSS to perform binary logistic regression. One of the parameters generated is the prediction probability. Is there a simple mathematical formula that could be used to calculate it manually? e.g. based on the B values generated for each variable in model?
Since I found out that there is a correlation between Timeliness and Semantic Accuracy (I'm studying linked data quality dimensions assessment, trying to evaluate a dimension quality -in this case Timeliness- from another dimension (Semantic Accuracy)), I presumed that regression analysis is the next step in this matter.
-the Semantic accuracy formula I used is: msemTriple = |G ∧ S| / |G|
msemTriple measures the extent to which the triples in the repository G (the original LOD dataset) and in the gold standard S have the same values.
-the Timeliness formula I used is:
Timeliness((de)) = 1-max{1-Currency/Volatility,0}
where :
Currency((de)) = (1-(lastmodificationTime(de )-lastmodificationTime(pe ))/(currentTime-startTime))*Ratio (the Ratio measures the extent to which the triples in the the LOD dataset (in my case wikidata) and in the gold standard (wikipedia) have the same values.)
and
Volatility((de)) = (ExpiryTime(de )-InputTime(de ))/(ExpiryTime(pe )-InputTime(pe ) )
(de is the entity document of the datum in the linked data dataset and pe is the correspondent entity document in the gold standard).

The above questions are allocated weights from 1 to 5.
We are recoding our data and transforming the data values into the values we won't according to the questionaries we have used and its scores.
The first couples of recodes went fine, and we can see the values in the Data view after we ran the syntax. But then all of a sudden after we ran a recode of the next variable in our syntax, the value did not show in the Data view, and instead of the value, the columns just have a dot; .
We don't have any missing values, and the original data, we are recoding, has values. So what are we doing wrong, can any body help us?
We have been checking the syntax over and over again, to see if we are doing something diffrent form the first couples of recodes, where nothing is wrong.. but we can't find any differences.
