Research Question:
What is the relationship between race and feeling discriminated against
because of race?
Null Hypothesis: There is no statistically significant relationship between race and feeling
discriminated against because of race.
Alternative Hypothesis: There is a statistically significant relationship between race and feeling
discriminated against because of race. Variables & Coding for Scenario 1
Independent Variables (IV):
Race (Race)
Race: 1= White; 2= Black; 3= Other
Dependent Variables (DV): Feels Discriminated Against Because of Race (RaceDiscrim)
Feels Discriminated Against Because of Race: 1= Yes; 2= No
Assumption Testing
According to Laerd Statistics (n.d.), the chi-square test for independence is used to discover if
there is a relationship between two categorical variables. The following are the assumptions for
the chi-square test:
●
Assumption #1: Your two variables should be measured at an ordinal or nominal level
(Laerd Statistics, n.d.).
●
Assumption #2: Your variables should consist of two or more categorical, independent
groups (Laerd Statistics, n.d.).
The independent and dependent variables are measured at a nominal level and consist of two or
more categorical separate groups. Therefore, both assumptions are met for the independent and
dependent variables.
Results
A chi-square analysis was conducted to determine if there is a statistically significant relationship
between race and feeling discriminated against because of race. The Pearson chi-square was not
statistically significant (p=.125), which indicates there is not a statistically significant
relationship between race and feeling discriminated against because of race. The strength of the
association is weak (Phi = .122; Cramer’s=.122). There were 279 valid cases (n= 279) and 328
missing cases (n= 328). More White indicated that they did not feel discriminated against
because of their race (n=195) than Blacks (n=38) and other races (n=31). These results showed
no relationship between race and feeling discriminated against because of race. Therefore, the
null hypothesis is accepted, and the alternative hypothesis is rejected.
