SPSS - Two-Way Contingency Table Analysis Using Crosstabs

The Two-Way Contingency Table Analysis Using Crosstabs test is perhaps the most used nonparametric test. According to Green and Salkind (2017), this type of test is used to evaluate whether a statistical relationship exists between two nominal (categorical) variables.

Considering a research scenario where nonparametric analyses would be more appropriate than parametric analyses. Using the Data File Daily Shift (1 - Day Shift, 2 - Night Shift, and 2 - Swing Shift), and Moral: (0 - low, 1 -High).

Question:

1)). Describe and defend the use of the two-way contingency table analysis (provide two comprehensive paragraphs supported by insights from at least three peer-reviewed listed resources below)

a)). Provide a properly formatted research question, e.g =

(Is there a statistically significant relationship between work shift preference and employee morale?)

(H1: There is a statistically significant relationship between work shift preference and employee morale.)

b)). Provide a properly formatted H1₀(null) and H1_a(alternate) hypothesis e.g =

(H0: There is not a statistically significant relationship between work shift preference and employee morale.)

c)). Provide a properly formatted inferential APA Results section, which includes the descriptive statistics and Inferential results
