Description

In this section, you need to use the Fall2019_SOC304_sample.sav data file.  Make sure you have dealt with missing values prior to exploring those relationships. 

Explore the following relationships. 

                      i.        Does being a democrat or a republican matter in terms of agreeing or disagreeing with the statement “I feel Somali immigrants are more difficult to integrate into our society because of their religion”? Hint: you need to create a new variable called PARTYR recoding the Q5PARTY1 variable and setting as system missing (SYSMIS any value that is NOT either democrat or republican (values 3-9).  You should then end up with a binary variable (dichotomous variable).  You will also need to use the dependent variable “Q35SOMALI.” Make sure you set the missing values so that you end up with only 5 categories (strongly agree, somewhat agree, neutral, somewhat disagree, and strongly disagree).  Remember that you can set the missing values on the variable view window in the “missing” cells for that variable.

                    ii.        Does the rating of Trump’s overall performance matter in predicting attitudes towards the statement “I feel Somali immigrants are more difficult to integrate into our society because of their religion”?  Use the variable “Q35SOMALI” as previously used (only 5 categories) as the dependent variable.  Use the variable “Q9JOB_TRUMP” after making sure that you only keep 5 categories (Excellent, Pretty good, Only fair, Poor, Very poor). 

For each of them (1. And 2.) you need to do the following:

a.    Run appropriate bivariate tables (column percentages).  Hint: make sure you select the appropriate variable for column or row and that you check “column” percentage in the “cells” option.

b.    Interpret percent values in cell (you need to write sentences that includes percentages for each cell).  Remember to compare percentages across after you obtain them within each column. (5 points + 5 points)
