Good morning,
My dissertation has a data set that I believe is reasonably straightforward.
My hypotheses also seem basic. For the life of me, I can't figure it out in
SPSS.
I have 7 students. They were observed 10 times each T1...T2...etc. They were
observed for two variables: IV Anxiety, DV Hyperactivity. Basic question: as
anxiety increases, does hyperactivity increase. The obvious: I am trying to
group students into high and low anxiety and high and low hyperactivity. The
second question: does hyperactivity appear to follow from anxiety (if
hyperactivity was observed within 30 seconds of anxiety behavior = anxiety
led to hyperactivity in that instance). Forgetting the obvious theoretical
questions, Here is a sample of the data in the configuration I believe
should be in SPSS to get the comparisons I need.
Anx Hyp
St1_T1 11 7
St1_T2 9 11
St1_T3 11 12
St1_T4 0 0
St1_T5 0 0
St1_T6 0 0
St1_T7 0 0
St1_T8 0 0
St1_T9 0 0
St1_T10 0 0
St2_T1 16 7
St2_T2 32 21
St2_T3 33 10
St2_T4 30 13
St2_T5 25 13
St2_T6 36 25
St2_T7 0 0
St2_T8 0 0
St2_T9 0 0
St2_T10 0 0
St3_T1 31 10
St3_T2 25 17
St3_T3 31 14
St3_T4 21 25
St3_T5 28 19
St3_T6 21 15
St3_T7 0 0
St3_T8 0 0
St3_T9 0 0
St3_T10 0 0
St4_T1 25 22
St4_T2 25 25
St4_T3 30 37
St4_T4 25 32
St4_T5 29 27
St4_T6 35 35
St4_T7 21 28
St4_T8 27 26
St4_T9 17 16
St4_T10 17 15
...etc
The other way to orient the data, it seems to me, is:
T1 T2 T3 T4 T5 T6 T7 T8 T9 T10
St_1_Anx 11 9 11 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
St_2_Anx 16 32 33 30 25 36 0 0 0 0
St_3_Anx 31 25 31 21 28 21 0 0 0 0
St_4_Anx 25 25 30 25 29 35 21 27 17 17
St_5_Anx 23 23 31 27 19 19 16 19 13 15
St_6_Anx 34 51 53 53 42 52 43 32 46 9
St_7_Anx 29 31 31 36 0 0 0 0 0 0
T1 T2 T3 T4 T5 T6 T7 T8 T9 T10
St_1_Hyp 7 11 12 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
St_2_Hyp 7 21 10 13 13 25 0 0 0 0
St_3_Hyp 10 17 14 25 19 15 0 0 0 0
St_4_Hyp 22 25 37 32 27 35 28 26 16 15
St_5_Hyp 1 10 30 17 19 35 26 30 39 16
St_6_Hyp 16 32 19 33 22 51 40 21 23
St_7_Hyp 34 30 23 35 0 0 0 0 0 0
My questions: Which data orientation is correct, and which process should I
run in order to group the students in high/low anx and high/low hyp?
I'm grateful for any suggestions that might be offered.
