I am using Stata with a simple dataset to do very basic regressions and comparing with SPSS to see if the results are the same, but they're not. I'm close, the significance are slightly the same, while the magnitudes of the betas are completely different. The data was copy and pasted into each from an Excel. can anyone help?

    $\begingroup$ Please edit to share the data as a table, instead of an image. Also, you'll need to post the commands used to generate each output. $\endgroup$

Are you by chance comparing the standardized coefficients in SPSS to the non-standardized stata coefficients? The left-most column in both pictures contains non-standardized coefficients, and they are very close to each other (though in different order).

    $\begingroup$ Thank you alot. I have discovered that i was looking on the unstandardized not the standardized. All i had to do in stata was to add to the command beta. APPRECIATED ALOT $\endgroup$
