Sometime we do not need the maximum level of detail. In these cases, reducing the measurement level facilitates the management of data and the analysis of results. Examples of measurement-level reductions: • Age. From Scale (x years) to Ordinal ◦ children [0-12 yrs], teens [13-19], young adult [20-29], adult [30-49], seniors [49+] • Income. From Ordinal: ◦ $0 - $4999, $5000 - $9,999, $10,000 - $14,999, $15,000 - $19,999, $20,000 - $24,999, $25,000 - $29,000 to Nominal: ◦ Below poverty line (0 - $14,999), Above poverty line ($15,000 and above)
• Larghetto – rather slow and broad (60–65 bpm) • Adagio – slow with great expression (66–75 bpm) • Andante – at a walking pace (76–107 bpm) • Moderato – at a moderate speed (108–119 bpm) • Allegro – fast, quick, and bright (120–155 bpm) • Vivace – lively and fast (156–175 bpm) • Presto – very, very fast (176+ bpm) Scale Ordinal
variable Popularity into a new nominal variable names “Popularity_new” • If popularity is below 75, then the new variable value is “Popular” • If popularity is 76 or above, then the new variable value is “Super popular” To begin, click on Transform > Recode into different variable.
variable name and add descriptive label 3: click change 4: click Old and New Values 5: set your range 6: tick the checkbox and define width 15 7: define the new variable value for the range 8: click add and repeat steps 5-7-8 for the second range. 10: click OK 9: once defined all ranges, click Continue
back to the Data View. Your new variable will be the last one on the right. • Drag and drop the new variable next to the original Popularity • Sort the original popularity Ascending (right click on the column header > “Sort Ascending”) • Scroll to popularity = 75 to check if the new variable is correctly recoded • Take a screenshot of the dataset showing that the new Popularity variable correctly changes value when old popularity is above 75 • Upload on Canvas
your project. 2. SPSS project files have the .sav extension. Your saved project includes the data (which means, no need to re-import the dataset next time) and all recoded variables.
