Hello!

Probably this is a very easy question:

I have 2 variables (see table). They both consists of three parts, respectively numbered (1,2,3) .
So 1=depression, 2=panic and 3=generalized fear


I did a chi square test (cross tabs) and it is significant. Now I want to know if the the people who are early in life have a significant effect between depression and panic. Is it okay for me to do another chi square test, where I make a new variable with only depression and panic in it?

Thanks in advance!
