Data Analysis using SPSS

1. Encoding of Data
a. Types of Data
i. Nominal – sex: male & female
ii. Ordinal – ordered categories eg. Likert Scale
iii. Interval – temperature
iv. Ratio –
1. What is the profile of the participants in terms of:
1.1 sex (nominal)
1.2 educational attainment (ordinal)?
Frequency and Percentage

2. What is the level of anxiety of the participants?

Questionnaire
(Likert Scale) 5 4 3 2 1
1. I feel anxious in taking the vaccine
2. I don’t feel safe
Mean & Standard Deviation
Interval Description Interpretation
4.50-5.00 Very High anxiety is always evident
3.50-4.49 High oftentimes evident
2.50-3.49 Moderate sometimes evident
1.50-2.49 Low seldom evident
1.00-1.49 Very Low not evident

3. Is there a significant difference in the level of anxiety of the

participants when grouped according to profile (sex &
education)?

If p-value is above .05 then the result is not significant

If equal or less than .05 then the result is significant
sex N Mean Std. Deviation t p-value Remarks

male 2 1.7500 1.06066 -1.14 .324 Not significant

overall_anxiety
female 4 3.1250 1.88746

The results reveal that there is no significant difference in the

level of anxiety when grouped according to sex (t=-1.14,
p>.05). This suggests that the anxiety level of the participant
are most likely the same regardless of sex.

a. Independent t-test – compare 2 independent groups
b. One-way ANOVA – more than 2 groups
 correlational
c. Pearson r correlation
d. Linear Regression

DV- interval/ratio
3. Is there a significant relationship between age and
anxiety of the participants? Pearson r correlation

Independent ANXIETY REMARKS

Variable
R p-value
Age -.978 .001 Significant

The results reveal that there is a significantly strong and inverse

relationship between age and anxiety of the participants
(r=-.978, p<.05). In other words, the increase in age would likely
decrease the anxiety level of the participants.

p-value- if equal or less than .05 – significant

- If above .05 – not signifcant
r = magnitude and direction of relationship
0 to 1
Negative – inversely proportional
Positive – directly proportional

participants? Linear Regression

age -.369 .040 -.978 -9.298 .001 SIGNIFICANT

Note: R=.978, R-squared=.956, F= 86.448, p<.05

The results reveal that age significantly predict the anxiety

level of the participants (β= -.978, p<.05). This suggest that for
every unit increase age the anxiety is decrease by .978. In other
words, the age have inverse effect on the anxiety level of the
participants.
Meanwhile, the model explains 95.6 percent of the
variance of anxiety. This denotes that 4.4 percent of the
variance of anxiety can be attributed to other factors aside
from age.
