Data Screening
Once data from a research study is gathered and has been entered into SPSS, researchers must examine their data to be sure they can validly interpret their results. Valid interpretation of data is reliant on two data features:
1. The data must meet the assumptions of the analysis procedure.
2. The data in the data file are "an accurate representation or transcription of what was provided by research participants as their original responses or what was provided by archival sources as original data" (Meyers, Gamst, & Guarino, 2017, p. 31).
