Document Summary
Bivariate relationship- differences between two variables, simple (religious affiliation v. voters) to see how there may be a relationship. If you were religious did you vote, who appealed to. The 2nd part includes the question of why the results occurred. Independent variable: column headings (top of table, parental supervision) Each cell contains the number of cases per cell and total for row. Each cell contains the percent of total for that column and total for column. Compare subgroups of the independent variable with one another with respect to dependent variable. When delinquency is low, there is a higher proportion of results pointing to high parental supervision. If so, then z has no effect on xy. If not, then z has some effect on xy. Relationship of x and y, control for z: z x y; no changes in xy, z1: x y. Z is intervening and no direct effect of x on y.
