Hi India & Tipsters-
Just out of curiosity, where did your student get the idea? Was it
from the original Stroop paper? My memory has it that the original
Stroop paper reported gender differences in reading times but now I
can't find the paper. Can anyone confirm this?
Thanks
Patrick

> I have a high school student who is doing the "Stroop" experiment
for a research paper, and she is comparing the times for males /
females. Her research hypothesis is "there will be no significant
difference in time taken to read the list for males and females".
Here is the question, wouldn't the null be basically the same thing,
that there will be no correlation between the gender of the
participant and the time taken to read the list of color words? I am
sure I should know this, and probably do. These papers are sent away
to someone else to grade, so I want to help the student before the
paper is sent off.
