I used Transform -&gt; Compute Variable. The new variable was the sum of the individual variables.<br />
<br />
I will post a follow up question about correlating Likert scale when there are 4 items in one set, and 6 items in the other set.<br />
<br />
Thanks

Hi,<br />
<br />
I have two sets of items on a survey, each set has four items.<br />
IV &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Set 1: &nbsp; U1, U2, U3, U4 <br />
DV &nbsp; &nbsp; Set 2: &nbsp; &nbsp;A1, A2, A3, A4<br />
<br />
All items are 5 point Likert scales &nbsp;1,2,3,4,5<br />
<br />
How can I correlate the effect the independent variable (Set1) has on the dependent variable (Set2). &nbsp;I have access to SPSS.<br />
<br />
Thanks

How can I correlate the effect the independent variable (Set1) has on the dependent variable (Set2).  I have access to SPSS.
