3.3 Multiple 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
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 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 an SPSS saved file
3.3.3 Multiple response: British Social Attitudes 1986
Note giving examples of multiple response questions in the 1986 British Social Attitudes survey and the different ways in which they have been coded and entered in the raw data. See also the sample data to get an idea of the content and layout (5 cases extracted).
