COMMENT Syntax Filename = NSSQFIXA.SPS The following SPSS 6.1 for Windows syntax statements carry out the variable renaming and scoring adjustments necessary to make the data file compatible with the 1995 revised instrument and SPSS scoring statements in Appendix D. TITLE 'SCORING ADJUSTMENT FOR THE 1980/82 VERSION OF THE NSSQ'. SUBTITLE 'INCLUDING VARIABLE RENAMING STATEMENTS'. COMMENT Provide the complete path to the SPSS for Windows data file that contains the variables of the 1980/82 version of the NSSQ in the GET FILE command. If the data file has already been opened in SPSS, it is not necessary to GET the file again. GET FILE = c:\subdirectory\filename.sav'. COMMENT The following commands rename variables to correspond with the 1995 version of the Scoring Instructions. RENAME VARIABLES (AFFECT1 AFFECT2 AFFIRM3 AFFIRM4 = EMO1 EMO2 EMO3 EMO4) (SOURCE1 TO SOURCE24 = SOU1 TO SOU24) (PERSON1 TO PERSON24 = PER1 TO PER24) (CONTAC1 TO CONTAC24 = CON1 TO CON24). COMMENT The following commands create the scoring adjustment for EMO1 to AID6 by subtracting the number of sources listed in the network. These adjustments are necessary if the 1980/82 version of the NSSQ was used. COMPUTE EMO1=EMO1-NOLISTED /* CORRECTED EMO1 SCORE */. COMPUTE EMO2=EMO2-NOLISTED /* CORRECTED EMO2 SCORE */. COMPUTE EMO3=EMO3-NOLISTED /* CORRECTED EMO3 SCORE */. COMPUTE EMO4=EMO4-NOLISTED /* CORRECTED EMO4 SCORE */. COMPUTE AID5=AID5-NOLISTED /* CORRECTED AID5 SCORE */. COMPUTE AID6=AID6-NOLISTED /* CORRECTED AID6 SCORE */. COMMENT The following commands create the scoring adjustment for PER1 to PER24 by subtracting 6 from each score. DO REPEAT XPER=PER1 TO PER24. COMPUTE XPER=XPER-6 /* CORRECTED PERSON SCORES */. END REPEAT. EXECUTE. COMMENT Provide a NEW filename for the SPSS data file that will contain the renamed and adjusted variables with the SAVE OUTFILE command. SAVE OUTFILE = 'c:\subdirectory\newname.sav'/COMPRESSED.
