Below is a set of SPSS transformations that can be used to add EPA profiles to events in the COPDAB data set: Azar, E. E. (1993). Conflict and Peace Data Bank (COPDAB), 1948-1978 [Computer file]. Ann Arbor, MI, Inter-university Consortium for Political and Social Research. The transformations are based on those developed by Steven Lerner (1983), Affective Dynamics of International Relations, Department of Sociology Ph.D. Dissertation, Chapel Hill, NC, University of North Carolina: 255 pages. These transformations do not code scale-activity combinations that have small numbers of events. Thus about ten percent of all events end up uncoded with these rules. The residual events can be assigned the mean EPAs that the rules assign to their COPDAB scale values. IF (scale=01 & activity='AGREE' ) E= 2.2 . |
