Study 1 Question 2:
Do females and males rank the same statement similarly?
This question seeks to determine if females and males have different perceptions
of gender. Like the question above, I averaged
answers to analyze this question. However, with this question I did not
analyze the answers for the group of participants as a whole, but instead
averaged the ratings of the females and the males separately. By averaging
the answers separately, I could see how each sex was most likely to rate
the statements and could compare these results. Figures 2, 3, and 4 show
the results of this analysis.
The analysis shows that many of the ratings of statements average differently
for females than for males. For example, Figure 2 shows that statement
20 has an average of 2.2 for females, an average of 2.5 for males, and
the average for both around 2.35. A few statements, like statement 46
on Figure 4, show that the female and the male answers average to be about
the same. In most cases the average was different, so this suggests that
male and females did rank the statements differently.
