Annotation

A random sample of female and male students of three different age groups (11, 14, and 17 years) were asked to evaluate speeches worded employing either the masculine, feminine or gender-inclusive person reference forms. The results demonstrate significant interaction effects between person reference forms and subjects' gender and age.
