Altun 2016¶

q1 · i? · causal · r1

Authors' interpretation in the discussion section, citing Davies and Parasuraman (1982) via Yaycı (2007) that attention is affected by age rather than sex; no statistical test of sex differences is reported in the article.

"As gender roles do not settle in this age group, differences based on sex were not provided. According to Davies and Parasuraman (1982), attention is affected by the varia ble of age rather than sex"

Discussion¶

Learner Variables¶

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