Re: total score

[John F Hall]

Written before Art and Bruce sent theirs.  Have a look at page http://surveyresearch.weebly.com/-35-derived-variables-count-and-compute.html and work (or read)  your way through the tutorials.

 

I’m copying this to the SPSS list, but only for information.  We help, but we don’t do assignments or homework.

Subject: total score

 

hi, i'm suziana rosaini, undergraduate student at universiti sains malaysia. i had a research about utilization of non pharmacological practices among surgical patient. i had use 5-point likert scale on 26 items questionnaire, which is:

1=not at all

2=rarely

3=sometimes

4=most of the times

5= always,,

 

then, my scoring is:

1+2=seldom

3=sometimes

4+5=always,

so, my question are;

 

1)  how to compute this by spss??

2) how to get total score (in range for seldom, sometimes and always)

 

thanks you
