Pearson's C hi - Square Correlations Associations
Test Independence between Variables
pearsons Chi squared test is a statistical correlations measure the strength and
test used to determine if there is a sig direction of the relationship between
nificant association between two categorical two variables
variables
SPSS: analyze > descriptive statistics a correlation coefficient ranges from -1
> cross tabs to 1 with 0 indicating no relationship +
values show a + relationship, while -
Fishers Exact Test is a statistical method values indicate a - relationship
used to determine the significance of associ-
ation between two categorical variables in Positive Correlation:
a table with small sample sizes means that as one
variable increases
the other variable
also increases
Negative Correlation :
means that as one
variable increases
the other decrea
ses
No Correlation..
means there is no
relationship betw-
een two variables
SPSS: analyze > correlate > bivariate
