 Data coding: assigning a number to the


participants’ responses so they can be
entered into a database.

 Data Entry: after responses have been


coded, they can be entered into a
database. Raw data can be entered
through any software program (e.g.,
SPSS)
Slide 14-3
Editing Data
 An example of an illogical response is an
outlier response. An outlier is an
observation that is substantially different
from the other observations.

 Inconsistent responses are responses


that are not in harmony with other
information.

 Illegal codes are values that are not


specified in the coding instructions.
