Hi,
I am studying about the travel behaviour of working parents. How do I key in data about their children in SPSS? This is really important considering the factor of number of siblings and gender in a family influence the travel behaviour.
For example, a respondent have 4 children;
1. Female, Age 3
2, Female, Age 5
3. Female, Age 6
4. Male, Age 9
For now, I key in according to total number of children they have. For example:
Female=3
Male=0
Age < 1 month = 0
Age > 1 m – 1 y = 0
Age > 1 y - 2 y = 0
Age > 2 y - 5 y = 2
Age 6 y - 12 y = 2
Is this the right way? Because I have a hard time to analyse this kind of data. Really appreciate if anyone of you can help me. Thank you
