In this issue, the editor will bring you about the naming rules of spss variables. The article is rich in content and analyzes and describes for you from a professional point of view. I hope you can get something after reading this article.

The naming rules for spss variables are:

1. Open the SPSS data editing window and click "variable View" in the view conversion bar to enter the variable view page.

2. Define the variable name: select the name of a variable and click in the cell to edit the variable name. If you enter data directly without pre-editing the variable name, it will be shown as shown in the following figure. From a technical point of view, it can also be done, but the specific analysis of variables will be very confusing, and it will be difficult for others to understand.

3, define the variable type: select the "type" cell of a variable, click to pop up the following dialog box, select the corresponding type of the variable. For example, the "gender" variable generally selects a string, which is only used for classification, while the age variable generally selects "numerical", which is used for statistical analysis, and the average age can be calculated.

4, width and decimal places definition: width definition refers to the width of the variable, that is, the number of integer places of the variable, the general system default is 8; while the decimal place refers to the decimal place of the variable, the system default is 2. As you can see, string variables do not have decimal places.

5, variable label definition: select the "label" cell of a variable, enter the corresponding content directly to define the variable. Its function is to make a further explanation and explanation of the variable name to avoid forgetting and confusion.

6. Variable value label definition: often used. Select the value cell of a variable, click, and pop up the following dialog box. For example, when defining the value of gender variables, 0 represents girls and 1 represents boys.
