Collecting valid data is an art unto itself. Ensuring that your results are valid and unbiased is a skill beyond the scope of this module. However, even quality data can be corrupted by human error and inattention to detail. Some of the most common data errors include:

  • Data that are not read properly
  • Dates are interpreted improperly
  • Hidden characters that result in improper fields (such as a tab character in a field that looks blank but causes SPSS to classify the field as a "string")
  • SPSS auto-assigning incorrect levels of measurement 
  • Data that are out of range
  • Impossible categories
  • Calculating a nonsensical mean (if 1 = blonde, 2 = brunette, 3 = red hair, 4 = black hair, etc., then a mean hair color of 3.1 provides no useful information)
  • Lower- and upper-case letters used interchangeably (such as "f" and "F" for sex)
  • Inconsistency of measurement and coding

Import the "Module 3 Discussion Data Set" attached below into SPSS. Look for problems in the data and  explain why they are problems. Present solution to repair the data set by addressing all of the errors. Note that the data set contains a total of 63 errors.
