Steps needed to prepare the raw data file before you can analyze it
To prepare your data:
1- Remove any duplicate cases. [This has been done. Over 140 duplicate cases were removed from the raw data file.]
2- Identify and remove cases with missing data.
3- Remove cases that do not connect the participant to a Psi Beta college (e.g. “Test” and “Attend another college”).
4- Use the codebook to rename the variables on the spreadsheet.
5- Recode any variables having words instead of numbers.
6- Reverse code variables that need to be reverse coded.
7- Save the file as a CSV file.
8- Import the CSV file into JASP.
Some brief step-by-step videos to help you prepare the raw data for analysis
Renaming variables
Changes cells with words to numbers
Reverse coding
Finding cases with missing data
Sort and delete cases with too much missing data
Steps need to analyze your data in JASP
1- Convert all variables to numerical variables
2- Create scale scores (e.g., Satisfaction with Life, Happiness, etc.)
3- Finally – you are ready to do some analysis
A- Profile your participants
B- Test some hypotheses
