Hello!
I have a large questionnaire set consisting of 8 different questionnaires, with both written answers, likert-scale answers, multiple choice. Creating new tables for each of the questionnaires is easy enough. My problem is that for the likert-scale questions, the form system we used created new columns for each likert scale alternative- so for example- one of the questionnaires has 10 items where participants are to rate something on a scale of 1-7. So for 10 participants, ideally the output of the answers here should be a 10×10 table. I get a 10×70 table. The entire excel file is 10×881, which includes about 7 different questionnaires. I could go though the set and manually write down the answers in a new table, but seeing as we are going to have a lot of participants, I'm looking for a more effective solution.
I'm thinking of making a script that loops through my questionnaire set and creates a new table with the answers, but my matlab is real rusty. If anyone could give me some pointers on what I should do, I would really appreciate it.
The questions below involve two distinct aspects of your emotional life. One is your emotional experience, or what you feel like inside. The other is your emotional expression, or how you show your emotions in the way you talk, gesture, or behave. Although some of the following questions may seem similar to one another, they differ in important ways. Rate your answers on a scale of 1-7, from "strongly disagree" to "strongly agree"
When I want to feel more positive emotion (such as joy or amusement), I change what I am thinking about. *
This is my output. I don't want an individual column for each alternative, but rather all the answers in one column.
Any help or tips would be gratly appreciated!
Cheers,
Kristin
