Binary recodings & Multiple Responses

Денис Грушко
Excuse me for too simple question for you.

Describing of the situation:
There is the following question in form: "what radiostation do you like?"
Three any radiostations could be filled in. Therefore three identical nominal variables are made in order to store all the respondent's answers. The meanings of these variables amounts to one thousand different radiostations (naturally, each radio's name has an appropriate code).
Also there is information about the respondent's sex.

Describing of the necessary table:

columns: sex
rows: radiostations
cells: columns %

Describing of problem:
Information about one radiostation stores in three different variables.
There are many a lot of similar questions in that form.
There are many a lot of meanings in those nominal variables.

My way of solving the problem is not satisfactorily. I tried to use Binary recodings.

Does something like this do what you want?

Open a new instance of SPSS. Open a syntax window. Copy, paste, and run this syntax example.

data list list/ id (f3) gender (f1) station1 to station3 (3a5).
begin data
1 1 aaa bbb ccc
2 1 bbb ccc aaa
3 1 ccc aaa ddd
4 1 ddd aaa bbb
5 2 ccc ddd aaa
6 2 bbb ccc
7 2 ddd aaa ccc
8 2 bbb
end data.

AUTORECODE VARIABLES=station1 station2 station3
� /INTO nstation1 nstations2 nstation3
� /GROUP
� /BLANK=MISSING
� /PRINT.
MULT RESPONSE
� /groups = named 'stationes named' (nstation1 to nstation3 (1,4))
� /variables = gender (1,2)
� /tables= gender by named
� /base = cases
� /cells = all.
