Description
Summary:This work introduces readers to the Pearson's chi-squared test for independence (x2). This technique allows researchers to test whether or not two categorical variables are associated with each other. This example uses a subset of data from the 2012 American National Election Study (ANES). It presents a test of the relationship between gender and support for same-sex marriage. Results from an analysis like this could have implications for how citizens might respond to policy changes in this sensitive area.
