Your task is to write a 600-word discussion of the results of an experiment, by answering some short answer questions (including an APA formatted references list) Aim: Was to replicate the sex differences in mental rotation performance among first year psychology students. Hypothesis: Based on a review of the literature, it was hypothesised that males will have shorter reaction time and higher accuracy on a mental rotation task in comparison to females Partcipants: Undergraduate psychology students participated (N=250) as part of course activities. Table 1 shows the number of people who identified as male or female and the mean age, and handedness for each group. Female 191 (n) 27.7 (11.9) Mean Age (SD) 91% %Right handed Male 59 (n) 29.5 Mean Age (12.4) 85% %Right handed Materials:  An online experiment was programmed using PsyToolkit software. Procedure Participants followed a link to complete some demographic questions (sex, age, handedness) and then completed a mental rotation task.  Design Quasi‐experimental design The independent variable was Gender with two levels (male and female). The dependent variables were mean reaction time (in seconds) and mean accuracy (%) for the mental rotation task. Data Analysis Data was cleaned to remove outlying reaction times (>3SD for group). Mean reaction times were calculated separately for each group. Mental Rotation Task: Participants were shown an object and asked to indicate which of two other objects was the same, by clicking the correct object with mouse. Five practice trials were followed by 10 experimental trials Design:  Quasi‐experimental design  The independent variable was Gender with two levels (male and female). The dependent variables were mean reaction time (in seconds) and mean accuracy (%) for the mental rotation task.  Data Analysis:  Data was cleaned to remove outlying reaction times (>3SD for group). Mean reaction times were calculated separately for each group. Reaction Time. Figure 1 shows mean reaction times for males and females on the mental rotation task. Reaction times for males (M=5.5, SD=2.8) were shorter in comparison to females (M=5.9, SD=2.5). Accuracy. Figure 1 shows mean accuracy (% of correct trials) for males and females on the mental rotation task. Males showed similar accuracy (M=52.2, SD=14.2) to females (M=52.3, SD=14.0). Assignment Questions 1. Briefly summarise the results and describe whether they support the hypotheses (1‐2 sentences). 2. Describe how the results compare with other similar studies in this area. 3. Describe how the results can be interpreted in terms of relevant theories / models. 4. Discuss the strengths and limitations of the research. 5. Discuss the implications of the research. 6. Describe what can be concluded from the research (3‐4 sentences).
