Creating tables of your semantic scale question

This example shows how to produce holecount and means tables of the responses to a grid of semantic scale questions. It uses the example pictured below (Q2.a to Q2.c)

Producing a holecount table

This allows you to see quickly how many people have chosen each response.

1. Click to display the Analysis Definition dialog box for a table.
2. Add the semantic scale grid variables to the Analysis field. You can add the whole set in the form Q2.a to Q2.c, or you can add individual questions separated by commas.
3. Set the Break to COUNTS or select Holecount table in the dropdown list.
4. If you wish, select the Analysis percents option to display the percentage choosing each response.

   

5. Click [OK] to build the chart.

   The result is a table showing the number of responses recorded for each of the choices. The example below also show the analysis percentages.

   

Producing a means table

A means table gives the average response for each scale question.

1. Click to display the Analysis Definition dialog box for a table.
2. Add the semantic scale grid variables to the Analysis field. You can add the whole set in the form Q2.a to Q2.c, or you can add individual questions separated by commas.
3. Set the Break to STATS or select Statistics table in the dropdown list.
4. Check the Transpose box.

   

5. Click the Descriptive Statistics tab.
6. Show only the Mean in the Used pane. (Select all other statistics in the Used pane and click to move them to the Available pane.)
7. Set the number of decimal places to 2.

   

8. Click [OK] to build the chart.

   The result is a table showing the means of the responses recorded for each scale.
