The study found that participants generally had a more positive view of the woman who had been married longer, had older children, and held a higher position in her career (option a), compared to the woman who had been married for a shorter period, had a young child, and held an entry-level job with aspirations for promotion (option b). This suggests societal biases or expectations regarding women's roles and achievements at certain life stages.
