Quantitative Data Analysis

Data coding: assigning a number to the


participants responses so they can be entered
into a database.

Data Entry: after responses have been coded,


they can be entered into a database. Raw data
can be entered through any software program
(e.g., SPSS)
An example of an illogical response is an outlier
response. An outlier is an observation that is
substantially different from the other observations.

Inconsistent responses are responses that are not in


harmony with other information.

Illegal codes are values that are not specified in the


coding instructions.
