Abstract
Abstract The primary purpose of this investigation was to test the hypothesis that there would be no interactive effects between sex of subject and sex of audience during performance of 2 motor tasks. An auxiliary purpose was to examine performance of 2 motor tasks in an effort to determine if performance would vary according to the sex of the subject. Forty-eight subjects, 24 males and 24 females, were randomly assigned to 1 of 4 treatment conditions: male subjects with male audience, male subjects with female audience, female subjects with male audience, and female subjects with female audience. All subjects performed 3 trials on each motor task: hand-steadiness and manual dexterity. The 2 × 2 factorial design was subjected to a multivariate analysis of variance (manova). No interactive effects were found between sex of subject and sex of audience. Results strongly suggest that certain tasks may be sex-performance related because of task performance demands.
