The chief psychologist at a state prison has developed a rehabilitation program for inmates convicted of violent crimes against females
All of the prisoners have been rated on the frequency of their attendance at sessions (the program is voluntary) and have completed a battery of tests which measures their level of hostile and aggressive feelings towards females. Are less hostile attitudes associated with frequent attendance at sessions? Does the program work?

To further test the nature of the association between attendance at the program and hostility towards women, the investigator controlled for the age of the inmates.
