1. What does the variable POLABUSE measure?

2. What does the variable POLATTAK measure?

3. List the values and labels for POLABUSE and POLATTAK.

Value	Label

Now define 0, 8, and 9 as "missing" for the variables POLABUSE and POLATTAK.

Calculate a Cronbach's alpha. (Analyze, Scale, Reliability Analyses).

4. Paste the table(s) below:

5. Is the Cronbach's alpha reliable and value? How do you know? Discuss in detail.

create a new variable/index will be named POLIN (for POLice Index).

POLIN scores are as follows:

2 = Conditional Approval/Yes in both cases.

3 = Conditional Approval/Yes in one case but not the other

4 = Disapprove/No in both cases.

6. The ______________(higher/lower) the index score, the more the respondent agrees that there are situations in which he or she would approve of a police officer striking an adult male citizen.

7. The _____________(higher/lower) the index score, the less the respondent agrees that there are situations in which he or she would approve of a police officer striking an adult male citizen.

Now, compute new variable/index POLIN. (Transform, Count). Then, define your new variable.

Access the Data View tab.

8. Run frequencies for POLIN, and paste table(s) below:

9. Of those who answered,

__________________% received a score of 2 on the index.

__________________% received a score of 3 on the index.

__________________% received a score of 4 on the index.
