1.) (Dataset: gss.sav. Variables: income16, attend.) In this chapter, we spent some time using the Data View and the Variable View to describe the first respondent in the GSS dataset. In this exercise, you will use your familiarity with the Data Editor to find out this respondent’s income (income16) and how often this respondent attends religious services (attend). a. With the GSS dataset open, go to the Data View. What numeric code does the first respondent have on income16? A code of (fill in the blank) _____________. Go to the Variable View. Just as you did earlier in this chapter, find income16 and click in the Values cell. What is this respondent’s income? (circle one) $25,000 to $29,999 $60,000 to $74,999 $170,000 or over b. Return to the Data View. What is this respondent’s code on the variable attend? A code of (fill in the blank) _____0________. Go to the Variable View. How often does this respondent attend religious services? (circle one) Never Once a year 2–3 times a month 2.) Suppose that you have just opened the World, States, or NES dataset for the first time. The first thing you do is select Edit ▶ Options and consider the Variable Lists panel of the General tab. You must make sure that which two choices are selected and applied? (check two) -Display labels - Display names -Alphabetical - File - Measurement level 3.) The GSS dataset contains the variable happy, which asks respondents how happy they are. Find the variable happy in the Data Editor’s Variable View and answer the following questions. a. What is the descriptive label for the variable happy? ________general happiness____________ b. Respondents who say they are “very happy” have which numeric code? (circle one) 1 2 3 4.) Generate a frequency distribution table for the variable happy in the GSS dataset using the Analyze ▶ Descriptive Statistics ▶ Frequencies procedure.

a. Print the table. b. Copy/paste the table into a blank document. Edit the table for appearance and readability, and then print it. (LOOK BELOW WORKSHEET QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS) 5.) SPSS works with different types of files to analyze data and produce results. These file types include datasets that record information about sample observations, output files of SPSS results, and syntax files used to replicate SPSS commands. Each of these different file types has a unique, three-character file name extension. Complete the table below to help you remember the file name extension for each file type. ANSWER: Dataset  .sav Output  .spv Syntax  .sps 6.) A political scientist wants to analyze civic culture in the United States. Civic culture is an important concept but is difficult to measure empirically. The researcher could consider several different variables. a. Which variable in the States dataset records the number of years of social studies that states require students to take to graduate high school? __________hs_yrs_ss________________ b. Which variable in the States dataset records the percentage of the voting age population that turned out to vote in the most recent federal election (for which data are available)? _______vep16_turnout____________________ c. Which variable in the States dataset records the percentage of state residents who frequently attend religious services? ________attend_pct_______ d. Which variable in the States dataset records the percentage of state residents who do voluntary community service? ____volunteer_percent_______ 7.) Chapter 1 showed you how to view detailed information about a variable named marital in the GSS dataset. This variable identifies the survey respondents’ marital statuses with numeric codes and assigns a label to each numeric value. The NES dataset contains a similar variable, also named marital, that records the marital statuses of its respondents. The numeric coding for marital in the NES is a little different than its GSS counterpart, however. It’s important to pay close attention to how variables are coded. Fill in the following table to identify the labels that correspond to numeric codes of the NES marital variable.

Numeric Code: Value: 1 Married: spouse present 2 Married: spouse absent 3 Widowed 4 Divorced 5 Seperated 6 Never Married 8.) A political scientist wants to study health outcomes in countries around the world. Good government may improve health outcomes; a healthy country may also be more politically stable. To study the health-politics relationship, the researcher could consider several variables in the World dataset that measure health in countries around the world. For each variable, briefly describe what it measures in your own words. a. fertility _: average number of children born per woman during her lifetime. b. hiv_percent:percentage of population aged 15-49 with HIV c. infant_mortality: number of infants dying before age one per 1,000 live births d. spendhealth: Public spending on health as a percentage of GDP e. Unnoncom: death rates from non-communicable diseases per 10,000 people
