First research project - can I make a composite measure from different scales?
First ever research project, and I am struggling a bit.
Measuring volunteering and its effect on wellbeing, and it's time to analyze the results.
I made a composite measure with the first two questions and called it "volunteering frequency." Can I make a composite measure with all four?
If not maybe I'll just ignore the second two questions. Or, should I just do 3 separate analyses? Pearson's correlation with composite measure from the first two questions, the third question, and the fourth question?
Thanks for any help.
