EMOTIONAL STROOP TASK ANALYSIS IN SPSS

dlizaraz — Mon, 20 Nov 2017 13:14:34 GMT

Hi everyone,
I already applied the Emotional Stroop Task with keyboard responding, my sample is 100 subjects. Now I have to do the data analysis but I have no Idea how to export the raw data from those participants into SPSS, How is supposed I should do it? Taking into consideration that for each subject I have RT from 240 words (120 for each block) and 6 different conditions?. I tried but SPSS Can't read the data files, I guess that is because is a lot of information.

Plaese Help!

Inquisit data files (*.iqdat extension) are simple, tab-delimited text files. SPSS and any other spreadsheet or statistical analysis application can read / import such files just fine.

See: https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/SSLVMB_sub/spss/tutorials/datatut_textfile.html

I can assure you that the amount of data (100 subjects with 240 trials per subject) is not a problem for SPSS. SPSS can handle substantially larger data sets without issue.

Once you have your raw data properly imported, you can start processing and aggregating it for further analysis. See e.g. the tutorial by Lacroix and Giguère as an introduction: http://www.tqmp.org/RegularArticles/vol02-1/p020/

Hi again! I have some questions related with Data Cleaning, Which one is the best way to clean this dataset If I want to delete outliers per each person, Is better to have the whole information for the 100 subjects in SPSS and work in it, or work in each separated file to find those outliers, in this option, how can I join all the data in an only dataset in SPSS?

Whether you chose to work with a single data set (all participants) or separate data sets (one participant per set) is largely up to you -- do whatever you prefer / what you feel most comfortable with. Exception: If your outlier definition criterion is not based on individual performance, but on some group-level criterion (e.g. mean latency of _all_ participants in a given condition +/- 2 SDs), you obviously have to have all data in a single set.

As for merging disparate data sets, see the SPSS documentation: https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/SSLVMB_23.0.0/spss/base/idh_idd_add_gating.html

Generally, if you have questions about performing specific actions or tasks with SPSS, those would best be directed to the support resources provided by SPSS / IBM.
