# How do I do a correlation between Likert scale and a dichtonomous?

I have conducted a survey and collected 182 responses from 6 different groups and I am about to analyze my data:

• group1: 101 responses
• group2: 47 responses
• group3: 15 responses
• group4: 13 responses
• group5: 6 responses

Some of in some of questions I used likert scale, for example:

A How much is quality of life important to you?

1 not important at all...2.......3.............4........................5 very important


and three kind of personal questions:

B 1. where did you live prior to relocate to NYC?

1. SF  2. Austin 3. other U.S. areas  4. non U.S. area


1. below 40  2. between 41 and 50   3. over 50


D 3. were you born in NYC?

1. Yes  2. No


I am trying to:

1. Do a correlation between each group of responses and each single of likert scale questions.

2. Do a correlation between likert scale questions( I think in this section I have to use spearman)

3. Do a correlation between C questions and likert scale ones and D and likert scale ones.

Also between D and C and B.
