· For Assignment 6:

· 1. The chief psychologist at a state prison has developed a rehabilitation program for inmates convicted of violent crimes against females. All of the prisoners have been rated on the frequency of their attendance at sessions (the program is voluntary). They have completed a battery of tests measuring their hostile and aggressive feelings towards females. Are less hostile attitudes associated with frequent attendance at sessions? Does the program work?

Hostility Towards Women by Frequency of Attendance
	FREQUENCY OF ATTENDANCE
HOSTILITY	Low	High	Totals
Low	60	144	204
High	80	31	111
Totals	140	175	315

· Calculate percentages and a measure of association for the table. Choose a measure of association appropriate for these variables. Characterize the relationship in terms of the existence, strength, and pattern or direction of the relationship in a paragraph. (Make sure to include descriptive statistics.) To further test the nature of the association between attendance at the program and hostility towards women, the investigator controlled for the age of the inmates. For each partial table below, compute percentages and a measure of association and interpret the pattern of relationships. Finally, write a paragraph analyzing the effect of controlling for age on the bivariate relationship. Hostility Towards Women by Frequency of Attendance, Controlling for Age A. Younger Inmates (less than 35)

Hostility Towards Women by Frequency of Attendance
	FREQUENCY OF ATTENDANCE
HOSTILITY	Low	High	Totals
Low	17	79	96
High	23	7	30
Totals	40	86	126

· B. Older Inmates (35 and older)

Hostility Towards Women by Frequency of Attendance

HOSTILITY	Low	High	Totals
Low	43	65	108
High	57	24	81
Totals	100	89	189
