Descriptive Statistics
Descriptive statistics describe the status of variables. How you describe the status of variables depends on the level of measurement of the variable. Recall that SPSS uses Nominal, Ordinal, and Scale (Interval or Ratio).
Nominal and Ordinal variables, such as Gender, could be reported as Frequency (% or number of Males and Females). Scale variables, such as Age, could be reported by stating the Minimum, Maximum, Mean, and Standard Deviation (Ages ranged from 18 to 64 years old with an average age of 27 (SD=9.81)).
Advance to next slide 80
Calculate Frequency
Select: Analyze > Descriptive Statistics > Frequencies Highlight Gender on the list and click on the arrow to move Gender to the Variable(s) box. Highlight ConfLoHi on the list and click on the arrow to move ConfLoHi to the Variable(s) box Be sure that Display Frequency Tables is checked Select Charts On the Frequencies: Charts box, select: Bar charts and Percentages > Continue > OK.

Correlation
A Pearson correlation analyzes relationships between parametric, linear (interval or ratio which are Scale in SPSS) variables. If ordinal, use Spearman Rho even if not from a normal distribution. You can enter several variables and get a matrix of the direction and strength (-1 to 1) of relationships.
92
To examine the relationship between GPA and Confidence, start by restating the hypothesis. Hypothesis:
It is hypothesized that there will be a significant positive relationship between GPA and Level of Confidence . This is directional so it is one-tailed.
Select: Analyze > Correlate > Bivariate Highlight GPA and the Confidence question on the list and click on the arrow to move them to the Variables box. Check Pearson, One-tailed, and Flag significant correlations. Select: Options. Check Means and standard deviations. Select: Continue > OK

Review Output
Descriptive Statistics: Here are the Means, Standard Deviations, and N for GPA and Level of Confidence. Correlations: The variables are listed across the top and down the side so that they intersect within the grid. Each intersection box has the value of the correlation, then the significance level, then the N.
Advance to next slide 96
Find the numbers in the statement below on the output at the intersection of GPA and Level of Confidence (the question about confidence):
There was a positive correlation [r(10)= .883, p < .01] between GPA and Level of Confidence.
97
98
Scatter plot
A scatter plot is a common method of displaying the results of a bivariate correlation. You can add a third variable by entering it at set markers by. One variable is represented on each axis and the dots represent the intersection of participants scores on the two variables.
99
Select: Graphs > Scatter/Dot > Simple Scatter > Define Highlight GPA. Click the arrow to move it to the Y Axis box. Highlight Level of Confidence question. Click the arrow to move it to the X Axis box.

SPSS Graphs are easily edited and copy/pasted into your document. You can change the Axis labels, colors, sizes, etc. in the Chart Editor. Place your curser over the chart and double-left click. Now double click on the X Axis label (On a scale of 1 to 10 with 10 being the most, how confident are you that you will learn statistics?). A the blue box appears around the text. (Close the Properties box that pops up.) You can now change the label by deleting the old label and typing: Level of Confidence
Advance to next slide 103
