please explain what you mean by a compound variable.
Is it a summative scale, i.e., a sum or mean of dichotomous or other interval level scales, e.g., with a Likert response scale?
What was the response scale on the variable about frequency?  Who wrote it?

Wanting to test a compound variable (i.e. combined 6 variables from a battery
of questions which ask about attitudes to gaming)  against a variable about
frequency of playing games (4 categories). Using kruskall wallis in SPSS but
not sure it is legitimate to use compound variables in this test? Only Non
parametric tests are possible with this data - does not meet any parametric
conditions. All help appreciated.
