7.5 Try It! Exercises
1. Examining the relationship between Gender & Femininity Level using Crosstabs
In the chapter example we saw there was a relationship between gender and masculinity level among EZ employees. Is there als a relationship between gender and femininity level? Use the Crosstabs procedure described in Section 7.2 to create a crosstabulation of frequencies on the variables, Gender and Femininity Level.
- In the Crosstabs dialog window, move Employee Gender to the Column(s) box, and move Femininity Level to the Row(s) box. Then click the Statistics button.
- Check the Pearson Chi-square box in the Crosstabs: Statistics dialog window, then click the Continue button.
- Click the OK button in the Crosstabs window. The crosstabulation and Chi square tables will appear in an Output Viewer window.
- Print your output file to submit to your instructor.
- Write an intepretation of the results to submit to your instructor. Follow the example in Section 7.3, stating your conclusions:
- Intepret the Pearson Chi-square value; is Gender significantly related to Femininity Level, or are these variables independent of each other?
- State the relative number of male vs. female employees in the low-femininity category
- State the relative number of male vs. female employees in the high-femininity category
- State the number of males who are in the low- vs. the high-masculinity category
- State the number of females who are in the low- vs. the high-masculinity category
- Write a statement explaining these patterns of frequencies. That is, how might these patterns be explained in terms of social stereotypes about gender and femininity level?
