When this helps

You use SPSS and need support with variable definitions, recoding, statistical procedures, questionnaire scales or output that is difficult to interpret.

THE DETAIL THAT MATTERS

Output is not understanding.

A table does not show every coding or selection decision behind it. We review variable definitions, missing-value settings and relevant syntax so the output can be understood in context.

  2. 02Syntax
  3. 03Checks
  4. 04Output
  5. 05Interpretation

What the work involves

01

Check the variable definitions

Review measurement levels, labels, value codes and missing-value conventions against the questionnaire or codebook.

02

Review scale construction

Check item coding and scoring instructions before reliability analysis. Reliability does not automatically establish validity.

03

Record the steps

Use syntax for agreed transformations and procedures where appropriate. Keep analytical decisions identifiable.

04

Explain the relevant output

Check assumptions and distinguish the tables needed for your research from supporting diagnostic output.

What you receive

Deliverables are agreed in your quote.

  • An agreed SPSS dataset and coding notes.
  • Syntax and output files included in the scope.
  • Relevant statistical tables in a readable format.
  • Interpretation notes and a results discussion where agreed.

What to prepare for an enquiry

Share your research question, stage, data type and deadline. No test selection is needed.

Please leave out sensitive records. File sharing is agreed after the initial review.

QUESTIONS

Questions about this service

Will I receive SPSS syntax?

Where syntax forms part of the agreed analysis, it is included in the handover. We confirm which transformations and procedures can be rerun.

Can you review questionnaire scales?

We can review coding, scoring instructions and appropriate reliability checks. A reliability statistic alone cannot establish that a scale measures the intended construct.

Do I need an SPSS licence?

You need suitable software access if you want to open and rerun native SPSS files. We agree compatible versions and readable outputs before starting.
