Notes on the use of quotation marks:

  • Use for text values of a Likert scale: e.g., ...with response options ranging from “never” to “daily."
  • Actual numbers of the scale (e.g., 0-3) do not appear in quotation marks while the definitions of these anchors (e.g., 5 = “I always fall asleep”) do.
  • Enclose values for variables within quotation marks (e.g., QSTESTCD = "IPA0102")
