In psychology, the cognitive connection between two or more
concepts or ideas such that the presence of one tends to evoke the others. In Sociology, the process by which people become allied to one another and form groups as the result of such alliances. In statistics, the cooccurrence of two or more events with a
probability above what would be expected by
chance. Dissociation is the logical complement of the statistical concept of association. (
krippendorff )
