ou will have to use SPSS to complete this homework, your textbook, and the index and scale lecture. You must show the SPSS output! If there is no output or the incorrect output the question receives a 0.

You are being asked to construct two indexes.

Index 1: POLIN

POLIN = POLABUSE + POLATTACK

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.
