Using IBM SPSS statistics
In which sub-dialog box can the Chi Square test be found?
Frequencies: Percentages
Crosstabs: Statistics
Bivariate: Pearson
Gender: Female
Crosstabs: Statistics
The Chi-square test is down a number of levels in the Analyse drop-down menu. The entire sequence would look like this: click ‘Analyze’; select ‘Descriptive Statistics’; select ‘Crosstabs’; choose your dependent variable for the ‘Row(s)’ box and your independent variable for the Column(s) box); click Cells, then check ‘Observed’, ‘Column’ and ‘Round cell counts’ on the Cell Display dialog box and then ‘Continue’; back in the Crosstabs box, click ‘Statistics’, then check ‘Chi-square’ and ‘Phi and Cramรฉr’s V’ on the Statistics dialog box and then ‘Continue’; finally, click ‘OK’ on the Crosstabs box and you will get an output like that shown in Table 16.2 on page 364.
