How can I analyse the following data.
Each of 30 people have answered 10 questions (each question has 3 response options). Each person has completed these questions in real time while in specific places (such as a cafe or a shopping centre). They chose the places where they record this data. Each person can choose to do this for 5 to 15 places. The data records how welcoming or inclusive the places are. We want to find out for each person and for the whole dataset, how inclusive places feel. Any advice?
Hi,
To analyse how inclusive places feel, calculate and compare the frequency of responses per person and across locations. Identify trends and use statistical tests to determine significant differences.
Hope this helps.
I agree with Hsin-Yuan Chen. Additionally, I would calculate the Intraclass Correlation to find out whether indiviual differences play a role in the evaluations of the places or not. Lastly, you could use a multi-level model, but you would have to specify somehow that it is not a linear model, but instead a type of categorical regression (preferably with optimal scaling) and a nominal predictor (place). This would make the best use of the variance and account for within-person trends (as your measurements are not really independent of each other because the places were evaluated by the same people). I'm not sure if that is implemented in any major stats packages yet, though.
