Block 2: Analysing one variable
[Page last updated 25 Sep 2013]
Files are in *.pdf format and are optimised for printing on European A4 sheet size (297 x 210 mm.)
They are set in Arial 11-point font and are legible even when printed two pages to a sheet.
The general sequencing principle for exercises will be:
1: Work-through on pre-course questionnaire, plus possible exercise
2: Tutorials and work-through exercises using British Social Attitudes 1986
3: Homework exercises on British Social Attitudes 1989 (with specimen answers) but I'm working on some
from the 2011 wave.
4: Lucky dip ( British Social Attitudes up to 2011, European Social Survey and the
NORC General Social Survey (USA) when I find time to generate some examples)
All raw data, SPSS saved files and key syntax files can be found on data sets and documents, but you'll learn a lot more if you do all the exercises yourself instead of slavishly copying them.

2.1: Nominal and ordinal variables
2.2: Interval scale variables
2.3: Data transformations
(Selecting variables for analysis, changing the names of variables, changing the values of variables. Creating new variables from existing ones. Selecting cases for analysis as a transition from analysing one variable to analysing two or more variables.)
