European Quality of Life Survey 2007 (UKDS: SN 6299)SN 6299

Teachers need ready-to-use files requiring little or no further preparation. Students may only have one semester of classes and lab sessions. Researchers need to factor in budgets, time, opportunity costs etc. All need to be up and running in the very first session. Criteria for ease of understanding and (immediate) use of SPSS files: Full and clear documentation, including (facsimile) questionnaire SPSS saved files well designed and easy to navigate Names and/or variable labels easily linked to questionnaire Variables in questionnaire order, not alphabetical order Variable and value labels short but clear Value labels to include question number, unless it is the variable name Value labels in Mixed Case and literate Missing values correctly and consistently assigned and declared Measurement levels correctly assigned

Report

Printed questionnaire (Appendix in report)

(also contains Questionnaire translated into all languages used) pdf in UKDS documentation

1: Question number is also variable name 2: Question number repeated at beginning of variable label

No missing values specified Measurement levels all Scale

Good points: 1: Variable names tally with question numbers 2: Variable labels have question numbers at beginning. This means duplication if SPSS set to display both names and labels, but means dialog boxes always display question number if SPSS set to display only one of these. Pedantic/aesthetic points: 1: Some (derived) integer variables still have 2 decimal places. 2: Variable labels far too long.

Response rate 58%UK 33.5% !!! N = 35,634 N = variables

Bad points (apart from abysmal response rate): 1: Age is coded in groups at hh2b [I was about to issue a fatwah for the culprits, but later found the full range of original ages in CVhh2b.] 2: Most variable levels are declared as Scale, a few Nominal, but many of these are Ordinal. All statistical indices declared as Nominal, but they are actually single statistical values, even the ones declared as strings. 3: Ridiculously long variable names and variable labels: OK for publication quality tables, but cumbersome to work with 4: System missing values everywhere, but very few user-missing values declared. 5: Coding system for DK, INAP, Refused completely inconsistent.

Ridiculously long variable names

Ridiculously long variable labels

Shorter labels better Could be improved with a colon and double space after Q.*_* Q10_1: My work is too demanding and stressful

Needs additional SPSS syntax to specify: variable levels missing values formats (for integers with superfluous decimals)

[Live demo here]

I also prefer to re-arrange the variable attribute columns

.. to bring the more important ones to the left This can also be done by highlighting the column header and dragging the whole column left or right across the Data Editor

You don’t really need half of them, so drag the right edge in

All I really need appears in this window:

I can check everything using

Opening windowScroll down to find variables

Click on Highlight variables you wantClick onto transfer to other pane

All current information for the highlighted variable is displayed, including a count for each value encountered Any editing generates syntax which can be saved using

Now for something more complex:
