Some of the variables in the GSS have been recoded to make them easier to use and some new variables have been created. The data have been weighted according to the instructions from the National Opinion Research Center. This exercise uses FREQUENCIES in SPSS to introduce the concept of levels of measurement (nominal, ordinal, interval, and ratio measures). A good reference on using SPSS is SPSS for Windows Version 23.0 A Basic Tutorial by Linda Fiddler, John Korey, Edward Nelson (Editor), and Elizabeth Nelson. The online version of the book is on the Social Science Research and Instructional Council's Website . You have permission to use this exercise and to revise it to fit your needs.
