q2 · i? · causal · r2

Authors' interpretation in the Discussion section of the quasi-experimental study: "the gain in the mean scores of both sexes" was observed, with the male gain higher. This is an interpretive statement about descriptive gains, not a separately tested effect; no gain statistics are printed for this contrast.

"This is evident by the gain in the mean scores of both sexes, although the gain was higher in the male than the females."
