Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The results for females cannot be generalized to males as there is a significant interaction between gender and environmental condition. Males enjoyed watching cartoons significantly more in the presence of others, while there was no significant difference for females. Therefore, the effect of the environmental condition on enjoyment depends on the gender of the participant.
