I have collected over 200 responses for a study that involves multiple questionnaires and need to begin scoring the questionnaires. I've imported the data to SPSS and noticed that the answers to each question are associated with a number set by Qualtrics (ex: "yes" is 1, "no" is 2). Some questions in my survey need to be scored differently (for example, for one question the response "always" might add 5 points, but for another the response "always" might only add 1 point).
Is there a way I can recode the numbers associated with answer choices after I have collected responses? I did some research on recoding but Qualtrics gives a warning at the beginning of the article that says "Recode values stop updating to reflect the new answer choice order once you start collecting responses (or if you copy a survey that has collected responses). Please note that these answer values may need to be changed manually."
Is there a way to work around this? I just want to make sure I have the correct numerical values associated with the correct answer choices for each question. I'd rather not have to manually change all the values in SPSS. Thanks!
Is it possible to recode values after collecting survey responses?
