The Affects of Gender on Following Directions
An individual’s ability to keep on task when doing a task is important for performance and learning. Many times minds wander to something else while completing a task. In the present study it was hypothesized that female participants would follow the instructions as compared to male participants.. Each participant was given a worksheet with 10 questions. They were instructed to read all of the questions before completing the worksheet. The last item on the worksheet instructed the students to complete questions number one, three, and seven. The number of questions each person answered was counted. The results indicated that there were no significant differences in males and females and the number of questions that were answered.
