How Do I Use It?
|
If you want to go beyond this level of
detail, use a statistical software package such as SPSS
to further analyze your data. Keep in mind the limitations
statistical analysis imposes. |

|
- Plot one variable along the horizontal (x) axis and another
variable along the vertical (y) axis.
- Collect data for these variables for each item you want
to look at (alternatives, issues, publics, etc.).
- Plot data for each item on the graph.
The plotted points will usually form a clustered pattern.
The direction and proximity of these points will indicate the
strength and pattern of the relationship. Statistical tests can
determine the exact degree of correlation.
