- I'd appreciate your insight in interpreting the results of a 2X3 contingency
- table.
-
- I've run the standard chi-square test with significant results (p<.01), but I
- see this as analogous to an omnibus ANOVA--it tells me something is happening
- among these six cells, but it doesn't tell me what; therefore, my question is
- whether there is anything like a test for main effects or interaction for a
- chi-square? My gut feeling says that I can divide the critical chi-square
- by my number of cells and then compare each cell chi-square score to this new
- ciritcal value. Is this acceptable? I've not been able to find in the literat-
- ure any comments about interpreting contingency tables, and so any comment you
- could make will be a great assistance.
