social science statistics

--- CODEBOOK --- A codebook will contain all possible variables in a given data set. Typically, codebooks will contain descriptive measures, but since your job is to report those, I’ve left them out of this codebook. I’ve included summary tables in the first part and the f ull questionnaire in the second part. Read over both parts and the SPSS data file in order to learn the most about your data. In a later project, you will be asked to compare local and global data, so I included the types of countries included in the globa l sample in the column labeled, “Special Notes.” These questions appeared in the Pew Research Center’s survey on Global Attitudes and Trends for 2014.
