normality of variable

How I can check the normality of each variable?

There are two main methods of assessing normality: graphically and numerically.

Graphical interpretation has the advantage of allowing good judgement to assess normality in situations when numerical tests might be over or under sensitive, but graphical methods do lack objectivity. If you do not have a great deal of experience interpreting normality graphically, it is probably best to rely on the numerical methods. SPSS Statistics allows you to test all of these procedures within Explore... command.

Then what to do if the scores is not normally distributed nor a straight line?

It can be checked by using a scatterplot. When you look at a scatterplot of scores, a straight line should be shown (roughly), rather than a curve.

It can be checked by inspecting the histograms of scores on each variable. If the scores are normally distributed, you could see a bell-shaped curve.

Hi, I realized that it seems the concept “outcome” is different from the term “output”. Taking the grandparent training project as an example, what is the “outcome’ referable?

I have designed a large-scale survey about the life satisfaction of low-income families in Hong Kong. Is it appropriate to use the electronic survey through mobile phones?
