Example 33
One way to analyze these data is to assign numbers to the four categorical responses;
for example, using the assignment 1 = SD, 2 = D, 3 = A, 4 = SA. If you assign numbers
to categories in that way, you get the dataset in environment-nl-numeric.sav.
In an Amos analysis, it is not necessary to assign numbers to categories in the way just
shown. It is possible to use only the ordinal properties of the four categorical responses.
If you want to use only the ordinal properties of the data, you can use either dataset,
environment-nl-string.sav or environment-nl-numeric.sav.
