Valdiserri, Colin:
 
As I understand is:
(1) You have some ordinal variables with the ranking order;
(2) You wanted to run Spearman's Correlation, to get the Spearman's Rho Rank Order Coefficient.

You should run Non-Parameter analysis in SPSS, NOT Reliability analysis.
The syntax is:    NONPAR CORR  VAR=V11 V12 V13 WITH V21 V22 V23 
                                                                /PRINT=TWOTAIL SIG SPEARMAN (This is default).
 
Do hope this can help.
 
Best wishes.

Hi All,

I have a small data set of rankings.  I know this can be done by hand, but I am wondering if I can do this using SPSS...  I want to assess the inter-rater reliability of the rankings of products by our respondents by acquiring a Spearman's Rho Rank Order Coefficient.

When I go into correlations and choose the Spearman's Rho option all I can seem to get is a correlation matrix.  What is more similar to what I am looking for is under the reliability analysis, but I do not want the Cronbach's Alpha and I don't see an option for Spearman's Rho under relaibility analysis.

Does anyone one have any ideas?

Thanks,
