Soci 217 - The Logic Of Multivariate Analysis AndSocial Statistics: Qs & As
The elaboration model is one method for doing multivariate analysis. It is a
logical approach to _________ analysis—a systematic way to analyze cross-
sectional data—equally applicable to a number of different alternative
statistical methods. ✔️Ans - data
what is the definition of the elaboration model ✔️Ans - logical approach to
understanding the relationship between two variables through the
simultaneous introduction of a third variable, usually referred to as a control
or test variable.
The various outcomes of an elaboration analysis include... ✔️Ans -
replication, specification, explanation, and interpretation
The heart of the elaboration model and of multivariate analysis is to
understand the .... ✔️Ans - nature of relationships by introducing other
variables
Having observed an empirical relationship between two variables (such as
level of education and acceptance of induction),we seek to understand the
nature of that relationship through the effects produced by... ✔️Ans -
introducing other variables
the third variable is called the... ✔️Ans - test or the control variable
The relationship of this test or control variable to the other variables is called
a ✔️Ans - partial relationship or a partial
The partial relationships are then compared with the initial relationship
discovered in the total sample, often referred to as the ______-_______
relationship to indicate that no test variables have been controlled for.
✔️Ans - zero-order
what is the test or control variable? ✔️Ans - A variable that is held constant
in an attempt to clarify further the relationship between two other variables
, what is an example of a test or a control variable? ✔️Ans - Having
discovered a relationship between education and prejudice, for example, we
might hold gender constant by examining the relationship between education
and prejudice among men only and then among women only. In this example,
gender would be the test variable (also called the control variable).
what is the partial relationship in the Elaboration Model? ✔️Ans - In the
elaboration model, this is the relationship between two variables when
examined in a subset of cases defined by a third (test) variable.
what is the zero-order relationship? ✔️Ans - The relationship between two
variables when no test variables are being controlled for (that is, held
constant)
what is an example of a partial relationship (a partial)? ✔️Ans - For
example, beginning with a zero-order relationship between income and
attitudes toward gender equality, we might want to see whether the
relationship holds true among both men and women (that is, controlling for
gender). The relationship found among men and the relationship found
among women would be the partial relationships, also referred to as the
partials
To begin, we must know whether the test variable is _______________ (prior in
time) to the other two variables or whether it is _______________ between them,
because these positions suggest different logical relationships in the
multivariate model. ✔️Ans - antecedent; intervening
if the partial relationship is the SAME compared with the original and the test
variable is ANTECEDENT then you use... ✔️Ans - Replication
if the partial relationship is the SAME compared with the original and the test
variable is INTERVENING then it is .... ✔️Ans - Replication
if the partial relationship is LESS OR MORE compared with the original and
the test variable is ANTECEDENT then it is... ✔️Ans - Explanation
if the partial relationship is LESS OR MORE compared with the original and
the test variable is INTERVENING then it is... ✔️Ans - Interpretation
