Todd, when starting a new topic, please do not piggy-back on an old thread -- it louses up the indexing in the Nabble archive.  Your question gets buried in a thread on some completely different topic, and people who might otherwise offer you some help may fail to see it.

Here is your question again in a new thread.

When trying to determine which groups are contributing to a significant overall chi-square test (for contingency tables that are larger than 2x2), I have read about using the Standardized residuals (i.e., Standardized residual values > 2).  However, SPSS also has the option to give Adjusted Standardized residuals.  I have tried reading up on the Adjusted Standardized residuals, but am not clear on when (of if) it is more appropriate to use the Standardized or Adjusted Standardized residuals to determine differences between groups.  Any clarification or guidance the group can provide would be greatly appreciated.

Thank You,
