q3 · i? · causal · r?

Experimental study with many deliberating groups, testing whether "men and women have equal levels of voice and authority in deliberation". The article reports "a substantial gender gap in voice and authority"; no effect size statistic is printed in the available text.

"We find a substantial gender gap in voice and authority, but as hypothesized, it disappears under unanimous rule and few women, or under majority rule and many women."

Discussion¶

Learner Variables¶
