3.3 Multiple response
Explanation of multiple response questions, examples from real surveys, and exercises in analysis using SPSS command MULT RESPONSE
3.3.1 Multiple response and SPSS: an introduction
Many questions permit more than one answer.(eg tick as many as apply). This document explains different practices in coding such questions and how the data can be analysed using SPSS command MULT RESPONSE to analyse the data.
3.3.2a First exercise in multiple response [SPSS 15]
3.3.2b First exercise in multiple response [SPSS 19] [in preparation]
Worked example from the pre-course self-completion questionnaire analysing the multiple response question on previous training in, or experience of ,typing, word-processing, social statistics or other computing. Follows on from previous exercises in Block 1 sections 1.3 and 1.4 (checking and coding data to a transfer sheet, typing data into a raw data file, reading the data into SPSS and completing the data dictionary. The cumulative data set is contained in the SPSS saved file class.sav ).
3.3.3 Multiple response questions in the 1986 British Social Attitudes survey

The following workthrough exercises are in preparation: they can be performed either by working from an existing SPSS saved file or by reading in raw data.and writing your own labels. Either way, missing values have to be checked.
3.3.3.1 One field per value
3.3.3.2 More values than fields
