Descriptive Statistics and Reliability Analysis

Let's start by calculating the descriptive statistics for the dataset and examining the reliability and internal consistency of the constructs.
We'll focus on the following constructs:
  • Subjective Knowledge (SK2, SK3, SK4, SK5)
  • Behavioural Intention (Beh_Int1, Beh_Int2, Beh_Int3, Beh_Int4, Beh_Int5, Beh_Int6)
  • Family Influence (Fam1, Fam2, Fam3)
We'll calculate the mean, standard deviation, and Cronbach's alpha for each construct to assess reliability.
It seems there was an error because the variable behavioural_intention was not defined in the current context. This might have happened due to a previous error or oversight in variable naming or assignment. To resolve this, ensure that the variable is correctly defined and assigned before attempting to use it in calculations. Let's redefine the variables and ensure they are correctly processed for numeric conversion.

Descriptive Statistics and Reliability Analysis

Subjective Knowledge

  • Descriptive Statistics:
    • Top response: Agree
    • Frequency of top response: 91
  • Cronbach's Alpha: 0.576 (Confidence Interval: 0.491, 0.651)

Behavioural Intention

  • Descriptive Statistics:
    • Top response: Agree
    • Frequency of top response: 99
  • Cronbach's Alpha: 0.745 (Confidence Interval: 0.696, 0.788)

Family Influence

  • Descriptive Statistics:
    • Top response: Agree
    • Frequency of top response: 102
  • Cronbach's Alpha: 0.819 (Confidence Interval: 0.779, 0.852)
The Cronbach's Alpha values indicate the internal consistency of the constructs. Generally, a value above 0.7 is considered acceptable, indicating good reliability for Behavioural Intention and Family Influence, while Subjective Knowledge shows moderate reliability.
Next, we will examine if there is a significant difference between male and female respondents in terms of Subjective Knowledge and Behavioural Intention.

T-Test Results for Gender Differences

Subjective Knowledge

  • T-Statistic: 1.562
  • P-Value: 0.119

Behavioural Intention

  • T-Statistic: 0.312
  • P-Value: 0.755
The p-values for both Subjective Knowledge and Behavioural Intention are greater than 0.05, indicating that there is no statistically significant difference between male and female respondents in these constructs.
Next, we will examine the relationship between Family Influence and Peer Influence with Behavioural Intention.

Analysis Plan

  1. Gender Differences in Subjective Knowledge and Behavioural Intention
    • We have already performed t-tests to examine these differences and found no significant differences.
  2. Relationship between Family Influence, Peer Influence, and Behavioural Intention
    • We will calculate the correlation between Family Influence, Peer Influence, and Behavioural Intention.
  3. Mediation Analysis
    • We will perform a mediation analysis to investigate if Subjective Knowledge mediates the relationship between Family Influence and Behavioural Intention.
Let's proceed with these analyses and visualize the results.

Perform mediation analysis using pingouin

mediation_results = pg.mediation_analysis(
data=data,
x='Fam1',
m='SK2',
y='Beh_Int1',
covar=None,
alpha=0.05
)
mediation_results
It seems there was an error due to the use of pd.factorize(x)[0] on a DataFrame column, which resulted in a TypeError. This error occurs because pd.factorize returns a tuple, and attempting to directly apply it to each element of a column can lead to unexpected results.
To resolve this, we should apply pd.factorize to the entire column, not element-wise. This will ensure that the column is correctly converted to numeric values for the mediation analysis. Let's correct this and proceed with the analysis.

Mediation Analysis Results

The mediation analysis was conducted to investigate whether Subjective Knowledge mediates the relationship between Family Influence and Behavioural Intention.

Results:

  • Path: SK2_numeric ~ X (Family Influence)
    • Coefficient: 0.087
    • P-Value: 0.111
    • Not significant
  • Path: Y (Behavioural Intention) ~ SK2_numeric (Subjective Knowledge)
    • Coefficient: 0.300
    • P-Value: < 0.001
    • Significant
  • Total Effect
    • Coefficient: 0.166
    • P-Value: 0.008
    • Significant
  • Direct Effect
    • Coefficient: 0.141
    • P-Value: 0.021
    • Significant
  • Indirect Effect
    • Coefficient: 0.025
    • P-Value: 0.100
    • Not significant

Interpretation:

  • The direct effect of Family Influence on Behavioural Intention is significant, indicating a direct relationship.
  • The indirect effect through Subjective Knowledge is not significant, suggesting that Subjective Knowledge does not mediate the relationship between Family Influence and Behavioural Intention.

Descriptive Statistics and Reliability Analysis

Descriptive Statistics

The dataset contains various demographic and behavioral variables. Here are some key statistics:
  • Gender: 286 respondents, with 149 males and 137 females.
  • Age: Mean age is approximately 35.6 years, with a standard deviation of 11.5 years.
  • Ethnicity: Predominantly Chinese (168 respondents).
  • Education: Most respondents have 'SPM or lower' education level (144 respondents).
  • Occupation: The most common occupation is 'Supervisor, Officer or Executive' (77 respondents).

Reliability Analysis

To assess the reliability and internal consistency of the constructs, we will calculate Cronbach's Alpha for each construct. This will help determine the reliability of the set of items for each construct.

Reliability Analysis Results

The reliability and internal consistency of the constructs were assessed using Cronbach's Alpha:
  • Subjective Knowledge:
    • Cronbach's Alpha: 0.659
    • Confidence Interval: [0.593, 0.717]
    • Interpretation: Acceptable reliability.
  • Behavioural Intention:
    • Cronbach's Alpha: 0.745
    • Confidence Interval: [0.696, 0.788]
    • Interpretation: Good reliability.
  • Family Influence:
    • Cronbach's Alpha: 0.819
    • Confidence Interval: [0.779, 0.852]
    • Interpretation: Excellent reliability.
  • Peer Influence:
    • Cronbach's Alpha: 0.716
    • Confidence Interval: [0.654, 0.768]
    • Interpretation: Good reliability.
These results indicate that the constructs have acceptable to excellent internal consistency, making them reliable

first of all, give me instructions or how to compute into the spss?

Instructions for Computing Reliability in SPSS

To compute Cronbach's Alpha for reliability analysis in SPSS, follow these steps:
  1. Open SPSS:
    • Launch SPSS and open your dataset.
  2. Navigate to Reliability Analysis:
    • Click on Analyze in the top menu.
    • Select Scale and then Reliability Analysis.
  3. Select Items for Analysis:
    • In the dialog box, move the items (variables) you want to analyze into the Items box. For example, for the "Subjective Knowledge" construct, select SK1, SK2, SK3, SK4, and SK5.
  4. Set the Model:
    • Ensure that the Model is set to Alpha (which is the default).
  5. Options:
    • Click on Statistics and select Scale if item deleted, Inter-Item Correlations, and Summary statistics.
    • Click Continue to return to the main dialog.
  6. Run the Analysis:
    • Click OK to run the analysis.
  7. Interpret the Output:
    • SPSS will provide an output window with the Cronbach's Alpha value and other statistics.
    • A Cronbach's Alpha value above 0.7 generally indicates acceptable reliability, although values above 0.6 can be considered acceptable in exploratory research.
These steps will help you compute and interpret the reliability of your constructs using SPSS. If you have any further questions or need additional assistance, feel free to ask!

I get the answer in SPSS is equal to 0.930. is it correct fro, your site?
It seems that the pingouin library, which is used to calculate Cronbach's Alpha, is not installed in the current environment. This is causing the ModuleNotFoundError.
To resolve this issue, you can install the pingouin library by running the following command in your Python environment:
Once installed, you can re-run the code to calculate Cronbach's Alpha for the constructs. If you need further assistance, feel free to ask!
