q3 · i? · causal · r?

Experimental data with many groups and "links between individuals' attitudes and speech" support this interaction finding. The gap vanishes under two named conditions: unanimous rule with few women, and majority rule with many women. No effect size 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."
