I need to analyse some data in IBM SPSS statistics 21. I'm a novice to statistical testing and hope someone could enlighten me.

Research is looking into the relationship between breed size and how an owner approaches behavioural problems.

A closed question survey was used to collect data from 500 owners. Purebred dogs were only used for size categories (small, medium, large).

There were unequal total responses:

Small: 201

Medium: 133

Large:166

All my questions are typically similar to this in layout (main question, followed by a “how do you manage this?”).

Example question data from survey:

H0: There is no relationship between breed size and owners' approach to aggression in play.

H1: There is a relationship between breed size and owners' approach to aggression in play.

6a. Does your dog have play aggression?

Small: Yes = 32. No = 169.

Medium: Yes = 17. No = 116.

Large: Yes = 16. No = 150.

6b. If yes, how does your dog manage this?

1. I don’t have anything in place to manage this. I don’t think it’s a problem.

Small:12

Medium: 5

Small:12

Large:1

2. I stop play when my dog gets too aroused.

Small:15

Medium:15

Large:9

3. I don’t play with my dog as a result

Small:2

Medium:1

Large:1

4. I use a game of “switch”.

Small:7

Medium:4

Large:8

5. I am currently undergoing a training plan given by a behaviourist.

Small:0

Medium:1

Large:1

6. I am currently training my dog with knowledge gained from online websites and or books.

Small:4

Medium:1

Large: 0
