Phi Coefficient Example A researcher wishes to determine if a significant relationship exists between the gender of the worker and if they experience pain while performing an electronics assembly task. One question asks “Do you experience pain while performing the assembly task? Yes No” The second question asks “What is your gender? ___ Male ___ Female” Step 1: Null and Alternative Hypotheses Ho: There is no relationship between the gender of the worker and if they feel pain while performing the task. H1: There is a significant relationship between the gender of the worker and if they feel pain while performing the task. Step 1A: Determine dependent and independent variables and their formats. Gender is dichotomous, independent Feeling pain is dichotomous, dependent Step 2: Choose test statistic Phi Coefficient Step 3: Choose Alpha Level Use Alpha Level = .05 Interpreted as “There is a 5% chance that a significant relationship really does not exist although the results indicate one does (5% chance of committing a Type I error or stated as 5% chance of rejecting the Null hypothesis when in reality it is false). Step 4: Determine the Critical Score For the Phi Coefficient, the critical score is determined using a Chi Square Table. The first column is the Degrees of Freedom and the other columns are the Alpha levels. The degrees of freedom for the Phi Coefficient is equal to 1.00 (Rows-1)(Columns-1)= (2-1)*(2-1)=1.00 At .05 and DF = 1.00, the critical score is 3.84 ?Chi Square Table Step 5: Run the Test The Phi Coefficient should be set up as follows:? Box A contains the number of Males that said Yes to the pain item Box B contains the number of Females that said Yes to the pain item Box C contains the number of Males that said No to the pain item Box D contains the number of Females that said No to the pain item Table Cells Males Females Total Yes A B E No C D F Total G H Example Data Males Females Total Yes 4 6 10 No 11 8 19 Total 15 14 29 Phi Coeffici
