Hi everyone. I am at the limits of my limited SPSS knowledge, and am in need of your know-how and experience.

I am trying to figure out how to analyze demographics and response percentages in a sample (non-normal).

I have 31 participants, answering 25 questions (outcome measures - numeric, scale), each on a scale of 1-5. I have four potential grouping vairables (numeric): Gender (nominal), age range (nominal), condition (nominal) and group (ordinal).

I'm trying to find a way to see what percentage of the respondents answered a 4 or above on each question and on average overall, and also break that down by grouping (i.e. how many women answered 4 or higher, overall, across the questions; how many in the 20-25 age range answered 4 or higher, etc.).

I can create another set of variables of averages for each respondent on their questions overall. But I dont know if its good to create what is essentially a bunch of excel formulas, when SPSS might be able to help me run these tests.

Any thoughts?  I really do appreciate your experience and insight.
