q3 i? Gender differences in self-reported social competences increased over time (gender × time interaction, χ²(2, N = 23,341) = 7.32, p < .001). → Rudmann 2023

Rudmann 2023¶

q3 · i? · causal · r2

Model 2 of the four-level multilevel analysis added the gender × time interaction on self-reported social competences across the three waves; the printed wave-to-wave coefficients show the gap "increased by 0.03 points" then "by 0.07 points at time 3".

"The gap increased by 0.03 points from time 1 to time 2 (B = -0.03, SE = 0.02, p = .031) and by 0.07 points at time 3 (B = -0.07, SE = 0.02, p < .001)."

Discussion¶

Learner Variables¶

• Gender — predictor: outcomes differ by group: a gap reflecting circumstances and treatment, not a cause
