Carbonaro, M., Szafron, D., Cutumisu, M., & Schaeffer, J. (2010). Computer-game construction: A gender-neutral attractor to Computing Science. Computers & Education, 55(3), 1098–1111. doi:10.1016/j.compedu.2010.05.007

q2 · i? · causal · r1

A repeated measures analysis with Greenhouse-Geisser correction found "a significant difference between the levels, MSR = 19.192, F = 21.758, p > .001". A separate passage reports "no significant difference across gender, MSR = .123, F = .180, p > .673".

"Results from the analysis show a significant difference between the levels, MSR = 19.192, F = 21.758, p > .001, indicating there are reliable differences between the levels"
