A contingency analysis using the Person’ s chi‐squared test was also carried out in order to assess the association between type of question and type of narrative. The indicators of tense, empowerment and, type of narrative, described in section 3.2.2, were used to perform this test. Table 5, 6 and 7 show the results of the Person’ s chi‐squared test for type of question and tense, type of question and type of discourse, and type of question and empowerment, respectively.
The results of table 5 indicate that there is no significant relationship between type of question and the tense used by people to express their answers( χ 2( 231, 1) = 0. 277, p > 0.05). Both types of questions tend to lead to responses focused on the future. However, the results of table 6 show that there is a relationship between type of question and the type of discourse(( χ 2( 231, 1) = 100.771, p≤0.01), that is, the question design largely determines the attitude reflected by users when answering these questions. Finally, the results of table 7 illustrate that there is a significant relationship between the type of question and empowerment( χ 2( 231, 1) = 50,779, p≤0.01). The question design determines the empowerment to answer questions.
