q3 · i? · causal · r2

Model 1 of the multilevel analysis on the utility value scale (seven social competences rated for usefulness, 7-point scale) in the ProFAN sample; the gender main effect showed "girls perceived higher utility value of social competences than boys".

"Our first hypothesis was supported, B = -0.17, SE = 0.03, p < .001 (see Model 1). As expected, girls perceived higher utility value of social competences than boys."
