    The document provides instructions for conducting two statistical analyses in SPSS: 1. An independent samples t-test to compare the means of two groups on a continuous dependent variable. Key steps include selecting the variables, defining the two groups for comparison, and checking the values of the independent variable. 2. A multiple classification analysis (MCA) to examine relationships between categorical variables. The instructions specify how to open a new syntax window and enter the correct syntax command to run the MCA, separating words and ending with a period.

    1.

    t-test Use Analyze-Compare Means-Independent Samples t-test and place the dependent variable (the variable whose different means are being examined) in the Test Variable box. Place the independent variable in the Grouping Variable box. This is the variable that you are using to split the cases into two groups. Click on Define Groups and if there are just two groups you are comparing, place the code for these two groups into the Group 1 and Group 2 boxes (e.g. if you were comparing attitudes between NDPers and Conservatives, put 2 for NDP in Group 1 and 3 for Conservative in Group 2 and the t-test would give the test for difference of mean attitude between NDP and Conservative). If you wish to split all the cases in the file into two groups, decide how you plan to split them and use the Cut point option. For example, if you want to compare those with GPAR of 70 and above with those with a grade point average of less than 70, place 70 in the Cut point box and click Continue and ok. The only point to be careful about here is to remember that all the cases with value greater than or equal to the cut point will be in one group and the remainder will be in the other group. For example, if you wanted to compare those with a grade of 70 or less with those having a grade of greater than 70, you would need to place a value just above 70 in the Cut point box. Before requesting the t-test procedure, make sure you know the values of the independent variable. If you are unsure of what these are, go to the SPSS Data Editor window and click on Variable View and the Values column generally lists the values. If they are not there, look at the values in the Data View window or request a frequency distribution, and it should be possible to find the list of values for the variable.

    2. Multiple Classification Analysis (MCA) To obtain the multiple classification analysis, first load the data file ssae98r.sav and then open a syntax window by clicking on File-New-Syntax. This produces a blank window, where you enter the syntax commands for the anova procedure. In a syntax file, you need to separate the words by spaces, commas, or the / sign and end each command line with a period. As an example try the command in problem set 3: anova emp1 by future(1,3) pv(1,3)/method=hierarchical/statistics=all.
