MODULE 1(INTRODUCTION TO SPSS)
1.1 Define SPSS. Explain its steps
SPSS (Statistical Package for the Social Sciences), also known as IBM SPSS Statistics, is
a software’s package used for the analysis of statistical data. The SPSS software package was
created for the management and statistical analysis of social science data. It is commonly
used in healthcare, marketing, and education research. SPSS was originally launched in 1968
by SPSS Inc., and IBM acquired it.
1.Choose start All Programs SPSS Statistics 22. The SPSS welcome dialog box
appears.
2.Click the sample files tab in the lower left corner of the dialog box.
3.Select the file that needs to be opened and click open.

1.2 Describe the basic elements of SPSS
1. Name: This is a column field, which accepts the unique ID. This helps in sorting the data.
For example, the different demographic parameters such as name, gender, age, educational
qualification are the parameters for sorting data. The only restriction is special characters
which are not allowed in this type
2. Label: The name itself suggests it gives the label. Which also gives the ability to add
special characters.
3. Type: This is very useful when different kind of data are getting inserted.
5. Decimal: While entering the percentage value, this type helps us to decide how much one
needs to define the digits required after the decimal.
7. Missing: This helps the user to skip unnecessary data which is not required during
analysis.
8. Align: Alignment, as the name suggests, helps to align left or right. But in this case, for ex.
Left align
9. Measure: This helps to measure the data being entered in the tools like ordinal, cardinal,
nominal.
● The data has to enter in the sheet named "variable view". It allows us to customize the
● To analyze the data, one needs to populate the different column headings like Name,
Label, Type, Width, Decimals, Values, Missing, Columns, Align, and Measures.
● These headings are the different attributes which, help to characterize the data
accordingly.

MODULE 2(DATA PREPARATION)
2.1 Recognizing errors in data set
Step 1- Go to analyze > under analyze go to descriptive statistics > and under descriptive
statistics go to frequencies
OUTPUT
PAGE
\*
Interpretation
The gender frequency table shows an error in the data set (which is represented as 5 in the
table).

Interpretation- Since the p value of Kolmogorov Smirnov test and Shapiro-Wilk test is less
than 0.05, the dataset does not follow normal distribution.

Hypothesis
H1-There is a relationship between age of the child and time spent by children on watching
tv.
OUTPUT
PAGE
\*
Interpretation- Since the value of p is less than 0.05, the alternative hypothesis is accepted.
It means there is an association between age of the child and time spent by the children on
watching TV.
Step 2- Select Dependent variable and transfer to the dependent list and the independent
variable to the factor
PAGE
\*
Hypothesis
H1-Influence of celebrity advertisement varies based on the age of the children.
OUTPUT
PAGE
\*
Interpretation
Since the value of p is not less than 0.05 the alternative hypothesis is rejected. It means, the
influence of celebrity advertisement does not varies based on the age of the children.
Step 2- Select the dependent variable and transfer to the test variable and the independent
variable in the grouping variable
PAGE
\*
Hypothesis
H1: Influence of celebrity advertisement varies based on gender of children.
PAGE
\*
OUTPUT
Interpretation
Since the value of p is less than 0.05 the alternative hypothesis is rejected. It means the
influence of celebrity advertisement does not vary based on gender of the children.
PAGE
\*
Hypothesis
H0 - Performance of employees in the test before training and after training remain the same.
OUTPUT
PAGE
\*
Interpretation
Since the value of p is more than 0.05, the null hypothesis is accepted. Hence there’s no
difference between performance of employees before and after training.
Hypothesis-
H1: There is an association between celebrity advertisement and attention capturing intention
of advertisement.
OUTPUT
PAGE
\*
Interpretation-
Since the value of p is less than 0.05, the alternative hypothesis is accepted. It means there’s
an association between celebrity advertisement and attention capturing intention of
advertisement.
Step 2- Take Attention capturing intention as dependent variable and celebrity advertisement,
Jingles in advertisement and Free gifts in advertisement as independent variable
PAGE
\*
Hypothesis
H1-There is an association between attributes of advertisement (celebrity jingles, and free
gifts) and attention capturing intention of advertisement.
PAGE
\*
OUTPUT
Interpretation
Since the value of p is less than 0.05 for all the attributes of advertisement, alternative
hypothesis is accepted. Hence there is an association between attributes of advertisement
(celebrity, jingles, free gifts in advertisement) and attention capturing intention of
advertisement.
