Means of the answers to the question âWho do you think multitasks more?â.
<p><i>Legend</i>. Possible answers were âMenâ (recoded as -1), âSameâ (recoded as 0) and âWomenâ (recoded as 1). Thus, a positive value reflects that participants think women multitask more. Results of one-sample t-tests testing whether the mean rating differed significantly from a rating of 0 (âsameâ) are shown as asterisks:</p><p>* p < .05;</p><p>** p < .01;</p><p>*** p < .001.</p><p>Effects were not modulated by age, children, education, or relationship status.</p><p>Means of the answers to the question âWho do you think multitasks more?â.</p
Means of the rated size of the gender differences as assessed by the question âHow large do you think the [gender] difference is?â.
<p>Scale ranged from 0 (âvery littleâ) to 4 (âsignificantâ). In total (category ALL) 238 participants (136 females; 102 males) answered this question. Results of one-sample t-tests testing whether the mean rating differed significantly from a rating of 1 (âLittle differenceâ) are shown as asterisks above each bar (* p < .05; ** p < .01; *** p < .001). Error bars denote SEM.</p
Summarized answers to the open comment question âWhy do you think they are better?â.
<p><i>Notes</i>. Percentages rounded; Percentages relative to number of participants (208) and not to sum of statements (i.e., percentages add up to > 100%).</p><p>Summarized answers to the open comment question âWhy do you think they are better?â.</p
Means of the answers to the question âHow far do you agree with the following being examples of multitasking?â.
<p>Possible answers ranged from âStrongly disagreeâ (recoded as -3) to âStrongly agreeâ (recoded as +3). SEM = standard error of the mean.</p
Proportion (in percent, %) of participants choosing women in response to the question âWho do you think is better at multitasking?â.
<p><i>Legend</i>. Dichotomic scale with Men and Women as answer options (therefore, the proportion of participants who chose Men can be calculated by 100-%Women). This question was only presented to participants who believe in gender differences (Question 3).</p><p><i>Notes</i>. Please note that âOverallâ is the percentage of participants choosing women across the whole sample of male and female participants. Since the numbers of males and females are usually not the same, âOverallâ is not just the mean of the âFemaleâ and âMaleâ columns, but a weighted average. Because the US sample is too small for this question (N = 11; 10f/1m), no tests were calculated.</p><p>Proportion (in percent, %) of participants choosing women in response to the question âWho do you think is better at multitasking?â.</p
Proportion âYesâ-responses (in percent, %) in response to the question âDo you think there are gender differences in multitasking?â.
<p><i>Notes</i>. âOverall Ratingsâ = mean of all respondents (i.e., an average of Female and Male ratings weighted by male and female sample sizes). âLower bound CIâ = Lower bound of the 95% confidence interval. It reflects the maximum value below the observed percentage which shows a significant difference (p < .05; determined using X<sup>2</sup> tests). For instance, 57% of All participants believe in gender differences, which is significantly more than 52%. <b>Y</b> = Younger participants (35 years or younger). <b>O</b> = Older participants (36 years or older).</p><p>Dichotomic scale with Yes and No as answer options.</p
Proportion (in percent, %) of participants answering âYesâ in response to the question âDo you think women are better due to childcare?â.
<p><i>Legend</i>. Dichotomic scale with Yes and No as answer options. Effects were not modulated by age, children, education, or relationship status.</p><p><i>Notes</i>. âOverall Ratingsâ = mean of all respondents (i.e., an average of Female and Male ratings weighted by male and female sample sizes).</p><p>Proportion (in percent, %) of participants answering âYesâ in response to the question âDo you think women are better due to childcare?â.</p
Means of the self-rated hours spent multitasking (MT) per day.
<p>In total (category âAllâ) 486 participants (274 females; 212 males) answered this question. Results of independent samples t-tests testing for gender differences are shown above each pair of bars of a country (* p < .05; ** p < .01). Error bars denote SEM.</p
Self-rated own multitasking (MT) abilities as assessed by the question âHow good do you think you are at multitasking?â.
<p>Scale ranged from 0 (âextremely badâ) to 6 (âexcellentâ). In total (category âAllâ) 486 participants (274 females; 212 males) answered this question. Results of one-sample t-tests testing whether the mean rating differed significantly from a rating of 3 (âaverageâ; centre of scale) are shown as asterisks above each bar (* p < .05; ** p < .01; *** p < .001). Results of independent samples t-tests testing for gender differences are shown above each pair of bars of a country (* p < .05). Error bars denote standard error of the mean (SEM).</p
Means of the rated significance of the gender differences as assessed by the question âHow significant/relevant for everyday life do you think the [gender] difference is?â.
<p>Scale ranged from 0 (ânot relevantâ) to 3 (âvery relevantâ). In total (category âAllâ) 238 participants (136 females; 102 males) answered this question. Results of one-sample t-tests testing whether the mean rating differed significantly from a rating of 1 (âslightly relevantâ) are shown as asterisks above each bar (* p < .05; ** p < .01; *** p < .001). Error bars denote SEM.</p
