SPSS Data Analysis: Anxiety & Demographics

1. The document discusses how to analyze data using SPSS, including encoding data types, descriptive statistics like frequencies and means, and inferential statistics like t-tests, ANOVA, correlation, and regression. 2. It provides an example analysis of participants' anxiety levels in relation to their sex and education using frequencies, means, t-tests, and correlation. 3. The results found no significant difference in anxiety between sexes but a significant negative correlation between age and anxiety, with older participants having lower anxiety.

Data Analysis using SPSS

1. Encoding of Data
a. Types of Data
i. Nominal – sex: male & female
ii. Ordinal – ordered categories eg. Likert Scale
iii. Interval – temperature
iv. Ratio –
1. What is the profile of the participants in terms of:
1.1 sex (nominal)
1.2 educational attainment (ordinal)?
Frequency and Percentage

2. What is the level of anxiety of the participants?


Questionnaire
(Likert Scale) 5 4 3 2 1
1. I feel anxious in taking the vaccine
2. I don’t feel safe
Mean & Standard Deviation
Interval Description Interpretation
4.50-5.00 Very High anxiety is always evident
3.50-4.49 High oftentimes evident
2.50-3.49 Moderate sometimes evident
1.50-2.49 Low seldom evident
1.00-1.49 Very Low not evident

b. Mean and Standard Deviation
3. Inferential Statistics
Comparative

3. Is there a significant difference in the level of anxiety of the


participants when grouped according to profile (sex &
education)?

If p-value is above .05 then the result is not significant


If equal or less than .05 then the result is significant
sex N Mean Std. Deviation t p-value Remarks

male 2 1.7500 1.06066 -1.14 .324 Not significant


overall_anxiety
female 4 3.1250 1.88746

The results reveal that there is no significant difference in the


level of anxiety when grouped according to sex (t=-1.14,
p>.05). This suggests that the anxiety level of the participant
are most likely the same regardless of sex.

IV- categorical
Dv- interval/ratio
a. Independent t-test – compare 2 independent groups
b. One-way ANOVA – more than 2 groups
correlational
c. Pearson r correlation
d. Linear Regression
e.
IV- interval/ratio
DV- interval/ratio
3. Is there a significant relationship between age and
anxiety of the participants? Pearson r correlation

Independent ANXIETY REMARKS


Variable
R p-value
Age -.978 .001 Significant

The results reveal that there is a significantly strong and inverse


relationship between age and anxiety of the participants
(r=-.978, p<.05). In other words, the increase in age would likely
decrease the anxiety level of the participants.

p-value- if equal or less than .05 – significant


- If above .05 – not signifcant
r = magnitude and direction of relationship
0 to 1
Negative – inversely proportional
Positive – directly proportional

X <--> Y
4. Does age significantly predict anxiety of the
participants? Linear Regression

XY

Model Unstandardized Coefficients Standardized t p-value REMARKS


Coefficients

B Std. Error Beta

(Constant) 11.574 .972 11.911 .000


1
age -.369 .040 -.978 -9.298 .001 SIGNIFICANT

Note: R=.978, R-squared=.956, F= 86.448, p<.05

The results reveal that age significantly predict the anxiety


level of the participants (β= -.978, p<.05). This suggest that for
every unit increase age the anxiety is decrease by .978. In other
words, the age have inverse effect on the anxiety level of the
participants.
Meanwhile, the model explains 95.6 percent of the
variance of anxiety. This denotes that 4.4 percent of the
variance of anxiety can be attributed to other factors aside
from age.
