Measures of Association: Lambda Impact of Religion on Abortion Attitudes

CRJ 716 - Prof. Kaci

Measure of Association Lambda ()

Type of Variable Nominal x NominalNominal x Ordinal

Values (Strength)

Range from 0 to 1

0 No Association

1 Perfect Association

Direction Not Applicable

6

Measures of Association: Gamma ()

CRJ 716 - Prof. Kaci

Measure of Association Gamma ()

Type of Variable Ordinal x Ordinal

Values (Strength)

Range from -1 to +1

-1 Perfect Negative Association

0 No Association

+1 Perfect Positive Association

Direction

+indicates Positive AssociationAs one variable increases (decreases), so too does the other (variables move in the same direction)

- indicates Negative AssociationAs one variable increases, the other decreases (variables move in the opposite direction)
