Type the name of the variable here
![Page 5: Introduction To Spss Defining Variables And Data Entry](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061223/54c4a1e14a79597f5e8b45ea/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
The variable name “Gender” has been typed
Lets assume our first variable is “Gender”
![Page 6: Introduction To Spss Defining Variables And Data Entry](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061223/54c4a1e14a79597f5e8b45ea/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Click “Type”
Choose “Numeric”

Type a label for this variable, e.g. Gender of Respondent*
*Note: It is not necessary to provide a label for the variable. It serves to remind the researcher about the variable if a label is provided
![Page 8: Introduction To Spss Defining Variables And Data Entry](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061223/54c4a1e14a79597f5e8b45ea/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
1. Click “Values” 2. Click this sign to assign the “Value Labels” of the variable
3. Type “1” here, then “Male” here
4. Click “add”
Assuming we have the following coding scheme for “Gender”
1.Male2.Female
![Page 9: Introduction To Spss Defining Variables And Data Entry](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061223/54c4a1e14a79597f5e8b45ea/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
After “Add” is pressed the value label 1 = “Male” is transferred here
![Page 10: Introduction To Spss Defining Variables And Data Entry](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061223/54c4a1e14a79597f5e8b45ea/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)

The process of defining the first variable “Gender” is now completed.
Press the 1st column of the 2nd row to define the 2nd variable
Lets say the 2nd variable is “Age”
![Page 13: Introduction To Spss Defining Variables And Data Entry](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061223/54c4a1e14a79597f5e8b45ea/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

Assuming we have the following coding scheme for “Age”
1. 20 – 25 years2. 26 – 30 years3. 31 – 35 years4. 36 – 40 years5. 41 years and above
![Page 16: Introduction To Spss Defining Variables And Data Entry](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061223/54c4a1e14a79597f5e8b45ea/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
1. Press here to define the value labels
2. Type 1 for “Value”
3. Type 20 -25 years for “Value Label”4. Click “Add”
Repeat Steps 2, 3, 4 for the remaining value labels:•Value 2 ; Value Label 26 – 30 years•Value 3 ; Value Label 31 – 35 years•Value 4 ; Value Label 36 – 40 years•Value 5 ; Value Label 41 and above
![Page 17: Introduction To Spss Defining Variables And Data Entry](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061223/54c4a1e14a79597f5e8b45ea/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Press “OK” after all the value labels for “Age” have been defined

Lets move to the third variable.
• Assume that the next item in the questionnaire asks respondent to indicate his/her degree of agreement to the following statement:
I enjoy my Business Research Methods class
1. Strongly Disagree2. Disagree3. Undecided4. Agree5. Strongly Agree
![Page 20: Introduction To Spss Defining Variables And Data Entry](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061223/54c4a1e14a79597f5e8b45ea/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
I have chosen BRM1 as the variable name to indicate that it is the first question related to “Business Research Methods”. It is arbitrary, we can also use other names.
![Page 21: Introduction To Spss Defining Variables And Data Entry](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061223/54c4a1e14a79597f5e8b45ea/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Under the “Label” give a short descriptive label for the variable, e.g. “Enjoy BRM”
![Page 22: Introduction To Spss Defining Variables And Data Entry](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061223/54c4a1e14a79597f5e8b45ea/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
1. Press here to define the value labels for BRM1
2. Type “1” for “Value”, and type “Strongly Disagree”
for “Value Label”
3. Press “Add”
