SPSS Topics Discussion > Multi responese
Ayman,
First of all, allow me to apologize for the extremely delayed nature of my response. Unfortunately, my forum notifications were being sent to an inactive email, so I didn't become aware of new posts for a long time. To answer your question, I would assign your responses numeric codes (e.g. none=0, before shift=1, since shift=2). When it is time for analysis, you might want to recode this variable into dummy codes, depending on the type of analysis you do, but this is a good place to start.
Also, in variable view, be sure to assign your codes (whatever you choose) their respective values (in the "Value Labels" column). I hope this helps!

I think this is the same Ayman that I've been helping with a survey of shift workers in the oil industry in Oman. Dummy variables is only one way to handle this: SPSS has a command MULT RESPONSE which is quite straight forward to use. There's a whole section on multiple response on my website: http://surveyresearch.weebly.com/33-multiple-response-mult-response.html
If you let me have your email address I can write to you direct and we can swap ideas.

PS I can only get one of your ten stats term explanations (std dev): how do I get the other nine?
