Hi There,
I have collected the results from a large survey which is looking at the impact of different technologies on consumer inspiration.
I am trying to conduct an ANOVA test, to see if a certain technology leads to a higher level of inspiration. One of my questions asked respondents to select which technology had the greatest influence on their most recent purchase decision. There were ten options for this question.
From previous literature, I am grouping these technologies into 3 sub-groups (immersive, personal devices, and information-rich), but I these to be one variable (technology).
How do I turn this one (with 10 answers) question into one variable with each sub-category within?
I hope this explanation makes sense, I can provide further detail if needed.
Thanks for you help!
This seems like a straightforward issue of recoding your 10-category variable into a 3-category variable.
The following libguide by Kent State University Libraries renders a constructive tutorial on recording variables in SPSS. You could check it out. Here is the full citation.

Good luck,
You have not told us which values (from 1 to 10) map onto the new values (1-3), so you'll have to fix the following code to show the correct mapping (and the correct variable names--i.e., replace oldvar and newvar with your own variable names).
RECODE oldvar
(1 2 3 = 1)
(4 5 6 7 = 2)
(8 9 10 = 3) INTO newvar.
FORMATS newvar (F1).
VALUE LABELS newvar
1 "Immersive"
2 "Personal devices"
3 "Information-rich"
.
* Check that it worked as desired.
CROSSTABS oldvar BY newvar.
