Not to harsh your buzz, *BUT*
How would you approach this if you didn't have SPSS?
In other words, this is not a question specific to SPSS but a general issue of analytical methods independent of any specific software!  Please review your class notes on t-test, ANOVA, Chi Square and measurement theory WRT measurement levels etc.
Differences between generations is a rather nebulous construct!

Hallo, I am not friendly with SPSS so I will be really glad if anyone could
help me. I am doing research comparing 2 generations, so there are 2
samples. Both generations were asked equal questions, for example: "What was
your favorite Sport in youth?" There are 4 answers - soccer, hockey etc (i
guess it is the weakest scale). There are about 15 questions. How can I see,
if there are any differences between 2 generations? Thanks.
