Hi, my dissertation research was conducted using a questionnaire and it's all quantitative, there were no open answers on the questionnaire.
I used Likert scale for some of the questions and I want to analyse the results of these Likert scales to see if the answers given here are statistically significant. Is that possible? Or do I need to compare the Likert scale questions/answers with one of the previous answers/variables.
The research is focusing on the relationship between working mothers and work-life balance. Some of the questions included: "Being a working mother has made it difficult to balance work and home life." "Flexible working will help create work-family life balance." "Flexible working is a good solution for working mothers to balance work and family life." "I have enough time to look after my children and take some time to myself after work."
Is it possible to assess the statistical significance of these - and if so which test would I run? Or are these descriptive analytics?
I have used SPSS before but it's been a while, I've watched a lot of Youtube videos but I'm finding myself getting very overwhelmed with all the different tests and how to run them and interpret them.
Thank you.

Hi,
I think that's better you used from Fisher Exact test.
or you used from percentage for example 75% of cases very satisfied of satisfied rom your condition
Your use of the term “statistical significance” implies there is some sort of statistical test being applied in response to a stated hypothesis. Is there a hypothesis and if so, what is it? In the absence of knowing your research questions, one can speculate what you are trying to accomplish with your study.
With respect to your item results, it’s possible to provide descriptive statistics about the item-level results of your survey items. It’s also possible to sum the item scores and provide descriptive statistics about those results.
You indicate you are studying “the relationship between working mothers and work-life balance.” This indicates to me that your study may be a correlational study. If so, then the statistical significance would center on the degree of the relationship between these two variables as measured by the correlation coefficient.
What are your exact research questions?
