st: RE: Correlating a variable against itself over two time moments

["Nick Cox" <n.j.cox@durham.ac.uk>]

You should -reshape wide- using identifier and dummy as jointly defining
observations in a wide structure. Then use -correlate-.

    I have a data set that has 51 Likert Scale variables and a dummy
variable for pretest/posttest. I am trying to obtain a correlation
matrix in Stata for the correlations of the variables against themselves
over the two time moments. For example, say I have variable P1. I want
to correlate P1 from the pretest against P1 from the posttest. If anyone
could provide advice on how to go about doing this in STATA, I would
appreciate it.
