[ TIP !!! CODING QUANTITATIVE VARIABLE TO QUALITATIVE VARIABLE IN SPSS ]
----------------------------------------------------------
✅ CASES:
In some cases, it is necessary to use quantitative variables for the purpose of frequency descriptive statistics, ANOVA analysis (quantitative variables are categorical variables), multi-group analysis, using quantitative variables as moderator variables, the first thing we have to do is transform the quantitative variable into a qualitative variable.
📖 EXAMPLE:
We need a quantitative transformation
Overtime salary: have values distributed from 0 -5 million into a qualitative variable by the interval.
a, 0- less than 1 million
b, 1 million - less than 3 million
c, 3 million - 5 million
✏️ HOW TO DO IT:
Step 1: Go to Transform -> Recode into different variables, select the question you want to put into the Input_variable section, click Old and New Value
B2: Choose the range of values from 0 - under 1 million assign to new value = 1, 1 million - under 3 million =2, 3 million - 5 million = 3
B3: Encode the value 1, 2, 3 correspondings to the intervals in the variable view window
🎯 After the coding is done, we can use this variable to perform the appropriate analysis.
📌 Wish you all success with this TIP!!!
