Quantitative Data Analysis With SPSS - Chapter 7
Bivariate analysis is the analysis of two variables used to understand if there is a correlation
between them or not. One variable will be independent and the other dependent.
Categorical or Nominal data: When there’s no natural order or ranking (e.g.: blood type,
nationality)
Ordinal data: When the order of the values is important. There are also special cases of
ordinal data like interval and ratio data.
Means or variances? Depends on whether the researcher is more interested in the means
or the variances between variables.
