its better to use SPSS to organize your data because your conceptual framework can be analyzed in SPSS. you cant use excel to get your required results.

Hello Naveed,
This is the first quantitative research I am conducting and planning to use Analysis ToolPak on Excel, I haven't use SPSS.
Is there any reason I wouldn't get results using this tool?

you are developing regression based model in your research thats why SPSS is more convenient. Its not so much difficul. You can watch some videos on youtube like SPSS for beginners.

Hi, I can help if you develop Excel sheet for your questionnaire data but I need to know which questionnaires you are using and what are the measurement level (nominal, ordinal or ratio/interval) of the variables. In fact I have many templates which I used in my own Master thesis but will need to be modified a bit to suit your need.

Hello Arif,
Thank you, the templates would be really helpful! I will classify questions in terms of their level of measurement.

Hi Tamara, I got your survey but I need to know about your hypotheses or questions this survey is going to answer. If you have research questions or hypotheses, then please do share them with me so that we can organize the data in a way that can be analyzed to answer your questions or test hypotheses appropriately. If it is merely a descriptibe study, then its ok but if hypotheses testing,we will have to modify the data slightly without data loss.

Need some suggestions on sentiment analysis?
Sayoni ..
I am working regarding sentiment analysis of about 500 comments over a blog. The blog states the career frustrations of professionals in a particular profession (i.e it itself reveals the negative aspects related to that profession).
Firstly, I have performed the content analysis (using the QDA Miner) of the blog to find the career aspects that are causing career frustrations among the professions.
Next, I have planned for sentiment analysis (using Python NLTK Text Classification/ http://text-processing.com/demo/sentiment/ ) of the comments (given exclusively by the professionals associated with that particular career) on the blog post . However, on moving further I have obtained that in some comments, there is fragmentation of sentiments. The first fragment which is related to the blog gives a positive sentiment whereas, the second one which is related to descriptions of career aspects gives a negative polarity.
For eg: Excellent article (+ve Sentiment related to the blog post). the problem is that you learn this once you have spent 15 yrs in this field trying to achieve what you dreamt of...... it's a complete waste going into this career field in this country. (-ve Sentiment wrt career aspect) it's better if you aim early and move out...to the US or any other place of your liking...(-ve Sentiment wrt career aspect).
Kindly give me some advice on how to conduct sentiment analysis of such type of dual-natured comments that reflects sentiments for the blog post and the blog aspects itself.
