Syntax

SPSS Syntax for Common NSSE Analyses

A number of basic analyses and variable recodes are common when working with NSSE data. In order to assist practitioners and researchers interested in conducting additional analyses with institutional data, NSSE provides SPSS syntax which can be used to accomplish a number of the most common data tasks.

Common Data Recodes

Syntax for collapsing response options on survey items or otherwise reconfiguring existing data into new variables.

A convenient way to present frequency distributions is to recode response options into simpler categories - usually collapsing them down to just two groups. For example, NSSE items using the "how often" response options-Never, Sometimes, Often, and Very often-can be recoded so that Often and Very often are combined into a single category called "Frequently". Likewise, the "emphasis" response set-Very little, Some, Quite a bit, and Very much-can be recoded so that the top two response options are combined into a category called "Substantial." It may also be preferable to isolate the percentage of students who have "Never" engaged in a particular activity, or who otherwise selected the lowest possible response.

NSSE asks students to estimate how much time they spent on a variety of activities in a typical 7-day week. The SPSS syntax below converts these "time on task" variables to hour-per-week units to make it possible to report the approximate number of hours on a particular activity (e.g., "First-year students spent on average about 13 hours per week preparing for classes."). Response options for these items are 0, 1-5, 6-10, 11-15, 16-20, 21-25, 26-30, and more than 30 hours per week. The SPSS syntax below assigns the midpoint value to each response range to estimate the number of hours spent. For example, 1-5 is recoded to 3 hours per week, and 6-10 is recoded to 8 hours per week. "More than 30" is arbitrarily assigned a value of 33 hours per week. Of course, these estimates are not intended to be accurate for an individual student, but they are very informative and useful when aggregating to the group level.

NSSE asks students to estimate the number writing assignments of certain lengths they have done during the school year. The SPSS syntax linked below converts these writing items to

Estimated number of assigned papers written up to 5 pages, between 6 and 10 pages, and 11 or more pages (e.g., "First-year students were assigned an average of 3 writing assignments between 6 and 10 pages.").
Estimated pages of assigned writing (e.g., "Seniors were assigned an average of 75 pages of writing.").
To estimate the number of assigned papers of a specific length, response options for these items (none, 1-2, 3-5, 6-10, 11-15, 16-20, and more than 20 papers) are recoded to the midpoint value of each response range. For example, 1-2 is recoded as 1.5 papers, and 3-5 is recoded as 4 papers. "More than 20" papers is arbitrarily assigned a value of 23 papers.

To estimate the number of pages of assigned writing, the average number of writing assignments of a given page-length was multiplied by an approximate number of pages for the assignment type. The number of pages assigned as the midpoint of the ranges "up to 5" pages is 3 pages, "between 6 and 10" pages is 8 pages, and "11 or more" pages was arbitrarily assigned a value of 15 pages. These numbers of pages assigned midpoints are then multiplied by the response option midpoints then summed together to estimate the number of pages of assigned writing. For example, a student who wrote 11 to 15 papers of up to 5 pages, 3 to 5 papers of between 6 and 10 pages, and 1 to 2 papers of 11 or more pages would have a value of 93.5 for estimated number of assigned writing [(13*3)+(4*8)+(1.5*15)=93.5].

Of course, these estimates are not intended to be accurate for an individual student, but they are very informative and useful when aggregating to the group level.

There are several ways to define first-generation status. This SPSS syntax linked below recodes parental education to meet two distinct definitions:

Highest level of education for either parent is less than a bachelor's degree (parents may have some postsecondary education).
Highest level of education for either parent is a high school diploma or less (parents have no experience in postsecondary education).

To better understand how NSSE's major fields relate to CIP codes, or to add CIP codes into a NSSE data file, the syntax below recodes NSSE majors into the four and six-digit CIP coding scheme. We also have an excel crosswalk table available.

Engagement by Student Characteristics

Basic approaches to exploring topical areas of engagement by student characteristics.

The SPSS syntax below presents the percentage of students who frequently (very often or often) engaged with faculty in various types of activities arrayed by institution-provided sex and class level. The syntax can be run from a NSSE institutional data file.

Creating Other Scales

In addition to the Engagement Indicators, NSSE items can be grouped into other measures for supplemental analysis. The links below provide code for computing summary scores for satisfaction and perceived gains.

Two scales help assess overall student satisfaction with the undergraduate experience. Use the SPSS syntax below to create the following Satisfaction Scales:

Overall Satisfaction (2 items)
Overall Satisfaction plus Quality of Campus Relationships (7 items)
