q2 · i0 · associational · r2
Zero-order correlation analysis (Table 1, N = 443) found no significant gender difference in competence; the article attributes this to early development at ages 3–6 not yet showing differences, while still using gender as a moderator in further analysis.
"in the correlation analysis, the category variable gender was not statistically significantly correlated with any of the other variables. That is, there were no significant gender differences in the social–emotional competence of the children in this study."
