| Sumario: | A study was conducted to investigate the relationship between gender, success, and a covariate in a situation similar to Simpson's paradox. This paradox posits that although women would be less successful than men according to overall statistics, they actually would actually fare better than men at either of two universities. Findings revealed that the paradox could be mastered when the salience of the covariate was increased and when the salience of gender was decreased by the inclusion of temporal cues that disambiguate the causal status of the covariate. |
