A gamma of 0.42 suggests a moderate relationship between X and Y. However, when controlling for a third variable (Z) through partial gamma (Gp), which drops significantly to 0.05, it indicates that the observed relationship between X and Y is largely explained by Z, suggesting a spurious relationship rather than a direct one.
