Rod: You can take
the mean of the items rather than the sum. SPSS will give you a mean for the
people with missing valuses as well as those who answered all of the
items.

Subject: spss windows
question
I have a
*BASIC* spss windows question. I'm using the Compute command to
calculate the total scale score of a scale with 40 items. A few of the
items have missing values (subjects left them blank). For those
subjects that left any of the 40 items blank, the Compute command did not
calculate a total scale score. What do I need to do to get the Compute
command to calculate scale scores even when there are missing
values?

Subject: Re: vita for
undergraduates
Hi
folks:
I'm
having a problem that is stumping me. A couple of my undergraduate
students are applying to graduate schools this year and are trying to
put together a vita for the applications. I'm having a hard time
remembering exactly what I included on my undergraduate vita. I'm
assuming the basics:
Name
and address
Educational
information (Major, GPA, graduation date)
Work
experiences (does this include sales, waiting, and other non-psychology
jobs or just those that are relevant for graduate
school?)
Volunteer
experiences
Research experiences
(including presentations and publications but also final research
projects for Methods courses, etc.?)
What
kinds of information do you advice your students put on
their vitas? Does anyone have any sample templates for
undergraduate vitas that they are willing to
share?
On
behalf of my students, thanks!
Rod
APS's Observer put out an
excellent article on putting together a vita written explicitly for
students. Unfortunately, my copy is at home and a quick check on the APS
site shows that the article isn't available from the
website.
But maybe another TIPSter has the
article and can forward it to Rod? It is:
For students: Writing your vita
(1989). APS Observer Vol. 2 #3. (No author was listed on the
website.)
In the meantime I'll check at home
and see if I can't take my hardcopy and scan directly to a pdf file for
you.
