The Rosenberg self-esteem scale is a psychological inventory based on a 4-point likert scale and consists of 10 questions. It is used extensively to measure self-esteem across the social sciences. Below is a short script for SPSS which will help speed up the coding process.  All items should be labelled as separate numeric variables as R1, R2...etc The script computes and prints the results for all reverse-scored items and then calculates the total score.  *Part 1 - reverse scoring of specific items COMPUTE R3 = 5 - Q3. EXECUTE. COMPUTE R5 = 5 - Q5. EXECUTE. COMPUTE R8 = 5 - Q8. EXECUTE. COMPUTE R9 = 5 - Q9. EXECUTE. COMPUTE R10 = 5 - Q10. EXECUTE. *Part 2 - total score COMPUTE Rosenberg = Q1+Q2+R3+Q4+R5+Q6+Q7+R8+R9+R10. EXECUTE. *Reliability  RELIABILITY   /VARIABLES=Q1 Q2 R3 Q4 R5 Q6 Q7 R8 R9 R10   /SCALE('ALL VARIABLES') ALL   /MODEL=ALPHA.

I am currently using the 60-item version of the Hexaco-PI-R personality inventory and decided to write a short script for SPSS to help speed up the coding process. I have posted it below because I couldn't find anyone else who had posted one online. All items should be labeled as separate numeric variables as hexaco1, hexaco2, hexaco3 ...etc The script computes and prints the results for all reverse scored items and then calculates and prints Factor/ Facet scores. It will also produce Cronbach's Alpha coefficients for each factor. The original scoring key for the HEXACO-PI-R can be found here . ******************************************* *Part 1 - reverse scoring of specific items *Honesty-Humility COMPUTE rhexaco30 = 6 - hexaco30. EXECUTE. COMPUTE rhexaco12 = 6 - hexaco12. EXECUTE. COMPUTE rhexaco60 = 6 - hexaco60. EXECUTE. COMPUTE rhexaco42 = 6 - hexaco42. EXECUTE. COMPUTE rhexaco24 = 6 - hexaco24. EXECUTE. COMPUTE rhexaco48 = 6 - hexaco48. EXECU...
