  1. SPSS Statistical Package for Social Sciences Recoding in SPSS Department of Psychology California State University Northridge www.csun.edu/plunk

  2. Recoding in SPSS • Sometimes a researcher may want to recode a variable • “Recode into same variable” (which will overwrite your data) • “Recode into different variable” (which will create new variables based on the recoded values)

  3. Recoding in SPSS • Lower scores on “ugly” variables will be coded as higher scores (e.g., on a “hotness” scale). • Thus, if a person has a low score on “ugly”, it is like saying they have a high score on “hotness”

  4. Recoding in SPSS A score of 4 on an “ugly” variable will be coded as score of 1 on the “hot” scale; while, a score of 1 on an “ugly” variable will be recoded as a 4, and so on.

  5. Recoding in SPSS Recoded Data Original Data Examination of the data file shows the numbers have now been recoded.
