Gender Differences in Computer performance & motivation results

On average, males ended up finishing the tasks earlier than females
More male than females completed all of the tasks
Hypothesis 1 was rejected-male students did not necessarily have a more positive initial motivation and no difference in statistics background
Males reported having more flow experiences than females
In analyzing navigation style, males clicked around a lot more and made a lot of errors before coming to their answer
Hypothesis 2-fail to reject-male students were more successful at using the most important features in the menu
Males reached on average 11/18 points, while females reached on average, 6/18 points
Through a path model, males start out using a more effective navigation style, leading them to find the required menu items faster and understand how to do the statistical problems
