I have a student who has a research with several qualitative variables and others which I think are ordinal ones. He has a sample of 50 underage who had committed one crime. One of his variables is type of crime which has several categories, but in almost 3 of the categories, he have only one person.
The other variables he had are related to psychopathology severity, with three levels: non clinical relevance, moderate, and severe psychopathology. He wants to perform correlations between all these variables. I recommend him to perform Spearman correlations between psychopathology severity variables, but I'm still thinking he has to perform a chi-square test.
Also he wants to correlate type of crime with psychopathology severity, but, due to he have only one subject in almost 3 of the categories, he cannot perform a chi-square test.
Which is the best data analysis for this variables?
Hi
He could consider kruskalWallis which is good for qualitative data and he can find it in SPSS
If your data is non parametric already ı think non parametric you should use SPSS Kw
