A psychologist was interested in whether there was a gender difference in the use of email. She hypothesized that because women are generally better communicators than men, they would spend longer using email than their male counterparts. To test this hypothesis, the researcher sat by the email computers in her research methods laboratory and when someone started using email, she noted whether they were male or female and then timed how long they spent using email (in minutes). What should she report?
A. Females and males did not significantly differ in the time spent using email, t(14) = –1.90, p = .10.
B. Females and males did not significantly differ in the time spent using email, t(7.18) = –1.90, p = .10.
C. Females spent significantly longer using email than males, t(14) = –1.90, p < .05.
D. Females and males did not significantly differ in the time spent using email, t(7.18) = –1.90, p < .05, one-tailed.
