SOC Is there a relationship between gender and fear of walking alone at night (fear), support for capital punishment (cappun), and job satisfaction

(satjob)? Are men or women more likely to say that there is a place nearby where they are afraid to walk at night? Which gender is more supportive of the death penalty? Are men or women more satisfied with their jobs (satjob)? We will use the Crosstabs procedure, with chi square and column percentages to explore this relationship.

● Click the SPSS icon on your desktop.

● Load the GSS2012 database.

● Click Analyze Descriptive Crosstabs.

● Find fear, cappun, and satjob in the list of variables and move them into the “Rows” box.

● Find sex in the list of variables and move it into the

“Columns” box.

● Click the Statistics button and select Chi-square.

● Return to the “Crosstabs” window, click the Cells button, and select Column in the “Percentages” box.

● Return to the “Crosstabs” window and click OK.

The results of all three tests will be printed to the

“SPSS output” window.

Inspect the column percentages, chi square, and the “Asymp. Sig (2-sided).” Report these results in a few sentences.
