The Stroop Effect: Validity and Gender Differences

Does the goal / goal process of reading words affect the naming of ink colors used in fonts? Is there gender difference?

Method / teaching materials o o Stop pens or pencils o Record the results with computer generated words, computer generated graphs in test minute, second, and millisecond stopwatch Level 3, First of all, we decided to test a total of 82 people with the same number of males and females. I made two test charts, then tested them and clocked them with a stopwatch. In test 1, the subject reads the written word. In Test 2, instead of reading the typeface, you were asked to specify the ink color of the font. I confirm that the subject understands the work to be completed. I answered all questions before starting the test. Subjects were tested in a comfortable environment. The recorded data includes the subject's age and sex, and the time it takes to read each chart. Calculate the average time between two tests and round it to the second decimal place. I created a chart showing the results

The result of test 1 is just reading a word. Test 2 is to read color inks instead of words. In test 1, men had an average performance of 99 seconds and showed better performance than women for 0.41 seconds. In test 2, the average male was 20.59 seconds, more than the women's 0.84 seconds. The average scores of all subjects in Study 1 were 2 seconds and 21.01 seconds.

Conclusion / Discussion It is easier to read words than to read colors. When you look at the word, you can see its color and meaning. If there is a discrepancy between the two evidences, you have to choose. Experience has taught that the meaning of a word is more important than the color of ink, so interference can occur only by paying attention to the color of the ink. The interference effect shows that you can not control completely what you care about at all times. Contrary to my hypothesis, men got higher scores on both tests, but the difference was small, I think that I am not a serious gender. A larger sample size may be useful for my future project

In the context of the Stroop Color Word task, we examine the sex of processing speed. In general, a strike interference effect was observed. Word reading is faster than color naming. Specifying the color of incompatible color words instead of the X series will make the response time much slower. Compared to men, female participants react more quickly when giving names to incompatible color words. In contrast, women and male participants did the same thing with reading words and color naming tasks. These findings are not enough to confirm the gender difference of the stroop interference effect

This study was designed to determine the effect of sex on the color word subtask of the Stroop Test, which requires participants to specify an ink color for unadjusted color words. This subject has been studied for more than 80 years but never has been analyzed systematically about the impact on gender. Use the meta-analysis program to identify the systematic gender difference of the Stroop Color-Word subtask. A total of 126 effects amount was confirmed from 60 studies. The results found a significant female superiority overall, but its effect was very small, d = 0.12. The benefits of all ages and cultures are important. The results show that female superiority is small for the Stroop task, but the strength of this difference varies greatly depending on the difference in measurement between different versions of the task.
