Visualization Learn to Create Dot Plots in SPSS With Data From Our World in Data (2020) How-to Guide for IBM® SPSS® Statistics Software Introduction Data visualization tools are an essential part of the exploratory step in data analysis. For their correct use, it is necessary to take into account the type of variables for which each chart is suitable. In this guide, you will learn how to build dot plots with the SPSS package from a set of real data extracted from a public repository. You will also learn how to change the aesthetic aspects of the graph and how to use it to analyze different hypotheses. Finally, you will have the opportunity to practice what you have learned throughout this guide through a series of proposed exercises. Contents 1. Dot Plots 2.

All Rights Reserved. Visualization 3. Your Turn 1. Dot Plots Dot plot is a graphical representation that allows you to visualize the frequencies of a qualitative variable. To build a dot plot, it is necessary to count the number of data points falling in each category and draw a stack of dots that number high for each category. This kind of chart is used with small datasets. It is very similar to a barplot because the height of the bar built by the dots is proportional to the frequency of the represented category. 2. An Example in SPSS: The Rise of Social Media, 2004–2019 Social Media appeared in the 2000s. In the last 20 years, different platforms have been appearing and disappearing and have been accumulating a large number of active users per month. This data set collects the number of people using social media platforms from 2002 to 2019 (see Codebook). With this information, it is possible to analyze the number of years that a platform has been active and how many active users it has had per month. Based on this information, our aim is to analyze the main differences in the number of monthly active users and the number of years each platform has remained active. Dot plot is a very useful tool to answer these questions. 2.1 The SPSS Procedure SPSS is a statistical package used by several kinds of researchers for complex statistical data analysis. It has a main menu to build several kinds of charts. In this section, we will focus on knowing the menu for the representation of dot plots of qualitative variables. In addition, we will work with some existing ways to improve the appearance of this type of chart. 2.1.1 Loading the Database Page 3 of 24 Learn to Create Dot Plots in SPSS With Data From Our World in Data (2020) SAGE SAGE Research Methods: Data 2021 SAGE Publications, Ltd. All Rights Reserved. Visualization The database we will use is available in the url: https://ourworldindata.org/internet. It is public and free of charge. To access the database, you must go to “The rise of social media” and press “data” in the bottom menu of the chart. This database is ready to be downloaded in the corresponding dataset in csv format, although it is not necessary to download it to follow this guide. Now, you can open IBM SPSS Statistic software and press ”File...”. In the “File” menu, select “Open -> Data” and then choose the “Monthlyactiveusers.sav” file available in the corresponding dataset folder. At this moment, you can see four variables in the “Variable View”: Entity, Code, Year, and Monthlyactiveusers. In this View, you should view the measure of the variable Year to “Ordinal,” the name of the last variable to Monthlyactiveusers, and the label to Monthly active users. 2.1.2 Dot Plot We show the basic dot plot of variable Entity to show the study period of each of the social media platforms (Figure 1). To this end, go to Graphs/Chart Builder. Below you have all the types of graphs you can use. Then, go to Scatter/Dot, and drag the bottom first symbol to the empty box. In this box, you can indicate the variables to show. To do this, drag the variable Entity to the frame titled X-Axis and click OK. The horizontal axis of the dot plot lists the names of different entities. Each entity consists of a stack of circles. The data from the dot plot are tabulated below.

  • Building a Personal Political Brand Using Facebook and Instagram Advertising
    BUILDING A PERSONAL POLITICAL BRAND USING FACEBOOK AND INSTAGRAM ADVERTISING Jyväskylä University School of Business and Economics Master’s Thesis 2020 Author: Tommi Puomisto Subject: Digital Marketing and Corporate Communication Supervisor: Heikki Karjaluoto ABSTRACT Author Tommi Puomisto Title Building a personal political brand using Facebook and Instagram advertising Subject Type of work Digital Marketing and Corporate Master’s thesis Communication Date Number of pages 16.6.2020 86 The how and where of political marketing and branding has changed significantly in the past decade. Social networking sites are increasingly used by actors like political parties to brand themselves and interact digitally with voters in real-time. While political branding has been researched extensively from the external perspective of the audience, the internal perspective, “brand identity”, and especially that of individual politicians has remained under-researched, thus presenting a potential research gap. The goal of this thesis is to increase the understanding of the role of Facebook and Instagram advertising in building a personal political brand from the internal perspective of the brand owner and internal stakeholders, therefore addressing the call for further research on the internal perspective of branding. This study is a mixed methods research and was carried out as a single case study. The case was an election campaign of a single political candidate in the Finnish parliamentary elections of 2019. Qualitative data was collected through semi-structured interviews, which were processed through the thematic analysis approach. Quantitative secondary performance data of the campaign’s social media advertising was then analyzed and compared with the findings of the qualitative thematic analysis.

While social media is not the absolute answer to all marketing issues, I think it definitely provides insight into customer behaviors and allows clients to participate in conversations about their brand/ product/service on a more proactive and intimate level. We!ve designated a team of specialists that are immersed in all levels of social media.

  • A Survey of Current Social Network and Online Communication Provision Policies for Offender Identification
    A survey of current social network and online communication provision policies for offender identification Graeme Horsman Department of Computing, Engineering and Technology Faculty of Computer Science The David Goldman Informatics Centre St Peter's Way Sunderland SR6 0DD Email: [email protected] Phone: 0191 515 2381 Abstract Online forms of harassment, stalking and bullying on social network and communication platforms are now arguably wide-spread and subject to regular media coverage. As these provision continue to attract millions of users, generating significant volumes of traffic, regulating abuse and effectively reprimanding those who are involved in it, is a difficult and sometimes impossible task. This article collates information acquired from 22 popular social network and communication platforms in order to identify current regulatory gaps. Terms of service and privacy policies are reviewed to assess existing practices of data retention to evaluate the feasibility of law enforcement officials tracking those whose actions breach the law. For each provision, account sign-up processes are evaluated and policies for retaining Internet Protocol logs and user account information are assessed along with the availability of account preservation orders. Finally, recommendations are offered for improving current approaches to regulating social network crime and online offender tracking. Keywords: Social Media Networks; Crime; Regulation; Internet; Cyber Crime; Harassment 1 Introduction Online platforms have now revolutionised modern day communication. However, in light of recent global events, social media has now become a platform for those to voice both positive and negative sentiment, requiring greater regulation by both the social networking sites themselves and the police (Awan, 2016).
