    The document discusses using bivariate analysis and crosstabs to test for associations between variables while controlling for other possible explanations. It provides several examples of crosstab analyses examining associations between gender and factors like salary, type of position, agency size, and board support for administrators. It introduces the chi-square test for measuring statistical significance of associations and interpreting measures of association strength like Cramer's V and Phi.
