A researcher examined whether people's responses to injustice depend on whether the offender in a hypothetical scenario is a male or a female,and whether the offender apologized (or not)after the offense.Participants were randomly assigned to the gender of the offender condition (female,male)and apology condition (present,absent).
Participants read a hypothetical scenario in which a person (male or female)acted unjustly and the action results in severe harm.Half of the participants read that the offender apologized; the other half read the same scenario except no apology was mentioned.Participants then rated the extent to which they would forgive the offender using a 0 (no forgiveness)to 9 (complete forgiveness)rating scale.The researcher predicted that participants' forgiveness would be greater following an apology compared to the apology-absent condition.The researcher also predicted that the gender of the offender would have no effect on forgiveness.
The researcher observed the following means: What are the means for the main effect of the Offender Gender variable? [Be sure to specify which mean belongs with each condition.]
