Summary of Results The predictor variable, I would apply for a job with a female CEO or boss, had a skewness of -2.54 and a kurtosis of 4.57. The predictor variable, I would vote for a female president, had a skewness of -2.43 and a kurtosis of 5.57. The spearman’s correlation between the predictor variable, I would apply for a job with a female CEO or bass and the outcome variables, IAT scores, was 0.075 and had a significance of 0.726. The spearman’s correlation between the predictor variable, I would vote for a female president, and the outcome variable, the IAT scores, was 0.104 and had a significance of 0.63. The moderator of gender for the variable, I would apply for a job with a female CEO or boss was found to be 0.79 and the significance

This study also focused on a college campus, meaning that the participants all had a higher level of education, which may have affected the results. The campus is mostly made up of females, which lowers the ability to get male participants. There is also the possibility that such a strong female presence on campus could lead to a skewness of results, this is a possibility because the males who participated may feel the need to have a positive response to females. The variables in thus test also did not have a high enough Cronbach’s alpha for the two variables was not strong enough to combine the variables, this shows that the variables could be changed to make them stronger, which might change the results. This study did not look at a large population. Also the information found in this study was found using a nonparametric test, which is because the data was not normally distributed. The use of the nonparametric test shows that the information found in this study cannot apply to a large population due to the lack of normality among the variables. This study might have been significant, however to find out this study must be done with more participants and for the moderation to be significant there need to be more male …show more content…
A college education could change the way that participants view females in professional roles, particularly if the participants have had a woman’s studies class, or a similar class that discusses gender roles. This study also only focused on students who were between the ages of eighteen and twenty-two, future research can look at a range of different ages to see if the different generations of people have different implicit association of age. Different generations have grown up with different norms and those might lead to different gender roles and different accept of gender roles. Older generations are also more likely to be in traditional professional gender roles, while younger generations are less likely to conform to gender roles. Most of the participants, if not all of the participants, in this study do not have jobs in the professional world due to the fact that they are still in college because of this future research can look to see if people who have been working in the professional world for a length of time might have a different association between gender roles and females in professional roles. Participants who have worked under a female in a professional role might have a different
