Assignment #1 SPSS: Data Analysis Instructions: Use the given data set, define the variables and enter

data into SPSS Data Editor 1. Define the variables and enter data into SPSS Data Editor 2. Save the data file as GMxxx SPSS Data Set2.sav Make sure to enter the data correctly otherwise results of your analyses will be different from the actual. Once you have entered the data, please proceed with the following computations 3. Compute the difference between X8 and X9. Assign the new variable as d. 4. Compute average summated attitude scores using the syntax: COMPUTE Attitude=MEAN (A1 to A7) 5. Compute average summated Quality of Work Life scores using the syntax: COMPUTE QL=MEAN (Q1 to Q9). 6. Categorize Attitude and QWL into the following categories. Assign the new variables as Attitude_Cat and QWL_Cat, respectively Low 1 - 2.339 Moderate 2.34 3.669 High 3.67 - 5 Please work on the following analyses and submit the SPSS results together with Table 1 and Table 2. Make sure to clearly label the SPSS outputs for easy identification to the respective questions: 1. Get listing of the following variables: ID, d, Attitude, QWL, Attitude_Cat, and QWL_Cat 2. Run reliability tests on instruments for: (Present your results in Table 1) - Attitude - Quality of Work Life (QWL) 3. Run Frequency procedure and complete information in Table 2. 4. Get list of Quality of Work Life (QWL) scores by gender. In addition, request for number of cases (n), mean and standard deviation. 5. Get mean, sum, variance, standard deviation and range for QWL and Attitude 6. Get the frequency breakdown of QWL for female respondents 7. Get frequency breakdown of QWL for female respondents with age more than 25 years 8. Get a bar chart for QWL_Cat

Assignment #2 SPSS: Data Analysis 1. Use the given data set, solve for the questions below: a. What is the scale of measurement of the Stress Scores? b. Based on the frequency results, find measures of central tendencies mode, median and mean c. Based on the frequency results, find measures of dispersion range, variance and standard deviation d. Does the distribution of the stress scores meet the assumption of normality? Use the appropriate statistic to test on the assumption. 2. In a one-sample pre-test and post-test experimental design, Dr. Noor Azman is interested to test the effect of attending SPSS workshop to improve students knowledge on data analysis.
