Question 1

With the elaboration technique,one solution for the problem of empty cells is to

Accepted Answer

Collapsing categories of all variables as much as possible can help reduce the number of empty cells in the data. This is because when categories are collapsed, the number of observations within each category increases, reducing the likelihood of having empty cells. Increasing the number of control variables or disregarding control variables may not address the issue of empty cells. Decreasing sample size can also reduce empty cells, but it may not be feasible or desirable to do so as it can affect the statistical power of the analysis.

Question 2

When there is evidence of a(n)____ relationship,partial gamma (G_p)should not be calculated.

Accepted Answer

Partial gamma should not be calculated when there is evidence of an interactive relationship, as it implies that the relationship between variables changes depending on the level of another variable, making partial gamma inappropriate.

Question 3

A possible solution for dealing with the problem of empty cells in the partial tables when using the elaboration technique is to

Accepted Answer

Collapsing the categories of all variables to the minimum possible can help reduce or eliminate empty cells in the partial tables while using the elaboration technique. This can ensure that all cells have sufficient sample size to make meaningful interpretations and conclusions. Avoiding a control variable (B) or eliminating the dependent variable (D) would not address the issue of empty cells, while using multiple control variables (C) may further complicate the analysis without necessarily addressing the problem of empty cells.

Question 5

Under what conditions should partial gamma (G_p)NOT be calculated?

Accepted Answer

Partial gamma should not be calculated when there is evidence of interaction. This means that the relationship between the two variables is not consistent across levels of a third variable, which violates the assumption of homogeneity of the gamma coefficient. In such cases, alternative measures that account for interaction, such as logistic regression or proportional odds model, may be more appropriate. The other options (A, B, and C) do not affect the calculation of partial gamma. However, it is worth noting that partial gamma is most useful in small to medium-sized samples, and that it may not be informative for variables measured at the ordinal level, as it assumes a linear relationship between the variables.

Question 6

In an investigation of the relationship between political ideology (liberal - conservative)and support for civil liberties such as free speech,a researcher calculated a bivariate gamma of 0.65.After controlling for gender,the partial gamma was 0.07.Which of the following correctly describes this outcome?

Accepted Answer

The partial gamma being much smaller than the bivariate gamma suggests that the relationship between political ideology and support for civil liberties is spurious, and the observed correlation is actually due to the influence of gender. Therefore, controlling for gender weakens the relationship between political ideology and support for civil liberties.

Question 7

According to the analysis reported in the text,the bivariate relationship between TV viewing and social involvement was negative and weak in strength.After controlling for race,evidence of a(n)____ was found

Question 8

An important limitation of the elaboration technique is sample size because

Accepted Answer

The elaboration technique involves dividing cases into partial tables, and with a small sample size, there may not be enough cases in each partial table to provide meaningful analysis.

Question 9

In an investigation of the relationship between political ideology (liberal - conservative)and support for civil liberties such as free speech,a researcher calculated a bivariate gamma of 0.65.After controlling for gender,the partial gamma was 0.60.Which of the following correctly describes this outcome?

Accepted Answer

The bivariate gamma of 0.65 indicates a positive relationship between political ideology and support for civil liberties. The slight decrease to 0.60 in the partial gamma after controlling for gender suggests that gender has a small effect on this relationship, but the direct relationship between ideology and support for civil liberties remains significant.

Question 10

According to the analysis reported in the text,the bivariate relationship between TV viewing and social involvement was negative and weak in strength.After controlling for race,it was found that

Accepted Answer

Controlling for race revealed that black respondents had a different relationship between TV viewing and social involvement than white respondents. This suggests that race plays an important role in the relationship between TV viewing habits and social involvement. The other answer choices are not supported by the information provided in the text.

Question 13

The chief psychologist at a state prison has developed a rehabilitation program for inmates convicted of violent crimes against females.All of the prisoners have been rated on the frequency of their attendance at sessions (the program is voluntary)and have completed a battery of tests which measures their level of hostile and aggressive feelings towards females.Are less hostile attitudes associated with frequent attendance at sessions? Does the program work?
 $\begin{array}{|l|l|l|l|}
\hline \text {Hostility Towards Women by }\
 \text {Frequency of Attendance}\
\hline &\text {FREQUENCY OF}\
&\text {ATTENDANCE}\
\hline \text { HOSTILITY } & \text { Low } & \text { High } & \text { Totals } \
