question marks. These are in the order that we named the variables, which
is shown at the very top of the window under the expression
Within-
Subjects Variables
.
Now we can deal with defining these variables by supplying the vari-
able (the named column in the data file) corresponding to the specified
values of the levels of each. For example, the cell combination or coordi-
nate (1,1,1) indicates the first level of
powcolor
(white), the first level of
granules
(yes, granules present), and the first level of
boxcolor
(aqua).
Knowing the order in which we need to bring the variables over to the
cell coordinates, we can now bring them over. The first variable brought
over will be matched with the (1,1,1) coordinate, so you need to be very
careful to use the right panel with the question marks and coordinates as
your guide for the ordering of your variables. We show in Figure 12.7 the
first two variables that were brought over. The second variable represents
the cell for white powder, granules present, and the orange box.
In our case, the ordering in the list of variables matches the order in
which SPSS needs to be told of the order here (this is what we intended
when we specified our variables in the initial dialog window), so we
can highlight the rest of the list from
WHTNOAQ
to
BLUNOOR
and
bring them over at the same time; SPSS will preserve the ordering of any
highlighted set of variables clicked over. Figure 12.8 shows that all of the
variables have now been defined.
