This is a quick tutorial on how to recode variables in SPSS. In this dataset, let’s try recoding “ethnicity” (which currently shows various ethnic groups) into just two variables—any minority group (values of 2 or 3 on the original variable) vs. non-minority (values of 4 or 5 on the original variable). Below, I have selected the variable in SPSS, but this is just to show you which one we’re working on. To do the recoding, we’re going to use the “Transform” menu in SPSS (usually we’re in the “Analyze” menu for statistical analyses). From the “Transform” menu, select “Recode.” You will see a sub-menu with two choices: Either you can recode into the same variable (which will over-write your original data with the new data), or you can create a new variable to put the recoded data into. Let’s put the recoded data into a new location, so that we can check our work. Select “Into Different Variables” from the sub-menu. Type in each old value on the left, and the new value that you want that number re-coded to on the right. Then use the “Add” button to add it to this list on the right-hand side. In this case, we have re-coded the values “2” and “3” to be “1”s instead, and the numbers “4” and “5” to be “2”s instead. Zeroes have not been assigned a new value, so they won’t be included in the re-coding.
