Soc. 3155 Elaboration of Bivariate Tables
Original Table Showing Bivariate Relationship Gamma = .43
Partial Tables Controlling for Residence Urban Residents Gamma = .43 Rural Residents Gamma = .45 No Change from original = Direct Relationship
Partial Tables Controlling for Parental Substance Abuse Parents are not substance abusers Gamma = 0 Parents are substance abusers Gamma = .04 Original relationship disappears or declines = spurious or intervening relationship
Graphs showing original relationship declines in presence of control
Family type Substance abuse Delinquency CV as spurious cause of IV and DV Substance abuse Family type Delinquency CV as intervening B/T IV and DV
Partial Tables Controlling for Income Level Low income Gamma = -.06 High Income Gamma = - .08 Original relationship disappears or declines = spurious or intervening relationship
Graphs showing original relationship declines in presence of control
Family type Income Delinquency CV as spurious cause of IV and DV Family type Income Delinquency CV as intervening B/T IV and DV
Partial Tables Controlling for Gender Boys Gamma = .73 Girls Gamma = - .25 Original relationship is different for different categories of CV = interaction
Graphs showing original relationship is different for different categories of control
Interaction Effect For Boys: Family type Delinquency (Strong) For Girls: Delinquency Family type (Weak)
Partial Tables Controlling for Parenting Style Authoritarian Parents Gamma = -.88 Permissive Parents Gamma = .89 Original relationship is stronger in presence of CV = suppressor effect: a type of interaction. Often relationship B/T IV and DV is opposite for different categories of CV. Failing to control hides or suppresses the true relationship.
