#### Data Cells

Each cell displays:
- Row percent
- Weighted N (Number of respondents)

#### Results

- **MALES (SEX: 1)**
  - Fearful (1: YES): 21.8% (Weighted N = 3,961.9)
  - Not Fearful (2: NO): 78.2% (Weighted N = 14,209.4)
  - Row Total: 100.0% (Weighted N = 18,171.3)

Expert Solution
Step 1

Association is used to measure whether two or more variables are related to each other or not. Gamma is used to measure of association used for ordinal variables(having various categories with order). It ranges from -1.00 to 1.00. If the value of gamma is 0.00 then, there is no association between variables. If the value of gamma is 1.00 then, there is perfect positive association between variables and if its value is -1.00, then there is perfect  negative association between the variables.
