Multidimensional scaling including Guttman small space analysis/ Dynamical systems modelling

Laurie Petch
Hi,

I am interested in these multivariate analysis approaches and in whether
they are feasible using SPSS. My research project involves children in two
conditions of group counselling. I'd like to see how a host of variables are
related (similarly/ differently?) in the two conditions. The variables
include: anxiety, life satisfaction (subjective well-being), perceived
purpose in life, autistic traits, bullying roles, cognitive ability etc. I
am no statistician, but I realize that these approaches probably involve
complex matrix algebra, which I am not up to writing code or macros for. Has
anyone done anything similar?
