SPSS INSTRUCTIONS FOR RUNNING CROSSTABS & CORRELATIONS: CROSSTABS: CROSSTABS ARE FOR NOMINALLY SCALED VARIABLES, I.E.

. CATEGORICAL. NUMBER OF CATEGORIES IN THE TWO VARIABLES BEING TABBED SHOULD NOT HAVE A PRODUCT GREATER THAN 16, I.E. VARIBLE ONE HAS 4 CATEGORIES, VARIABLE TWO HAS 4 CATEGORIES: 4x4 = 16. (ok). MEASURES ASSOCIATIONS, NULL HYPOTHESIS: NO RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN THE TWO VARIABLES BEING TABBED RUN: CLICK ON ANALYZE>DESCRIPTIVE STATISTICS>CROSSTABS MOVE ONE VARIABLE TO THE ROWS AREA AND ONE VARIABLE TO THE COLUMN VARIABLE (DOES NOT MATTER WHICH IS WHICH) CLICK ON STATISTICS ON THE BOTTOM AND MAKE SURE THE CHI-SQUARE BOX IS CHECKED THEN CLICK CONTINUE CLICK ON CELLS ON THE BOTTOM AND MAKE SURE THE ALL THE COUNT BOXES ARE CHECKED AND ALL THE PERCENTAGE BOXES ARE CHECKED THEN CLICK CONTINUE. CLICK ON OK TO RUN THE CROSSTAB ANALYSIS. IF THE P-VALUE (PEARSON CHI-SQUARED SIGNIFICANCE VALUE) IS LESS THAN .10 THEN REJECT THE NULL HYPOTHESIS; OTHERWISE, ACCEPT THE NULL HYPOTHESIS.

CORRELATIONS: YOU CAN ONLY RUN CORRELATIONS ON INTERVAL OR RATIO DATA NULL HYPOTHESIS: NO RELATIONSHIPS ONLY CORRELATIONS WITH P-VALUES LESS THAN .10 ARE CONSIDERED SIGNIFICANT, I.E. REJECT THE NULL HYPOTHESIS. CLICK ON ANALYZE>CORRELATE>BIVARIATE MOVE ALL VARIBLES YOU WANT TO CORRELATE INTO THE VARIABLES BOX CLICK OK
