In a study 1 examining gender bias, a nationwide sample of 127 science professors evaluated the application materials of an undergraduate student who had ostensibly applied for a laboratory manager position. all the faculty members received the same application, with half randomly given a male name and half randomly given a female name. we see that the applications with female names received a significantly lower recommended salary. does gender of the evaluator make a difference? in particular, considering only the 64 applications with female names, is the mean recommended salary different depending on the gender of the evaluating faculty member? the 32 male faculty gave a mean starting salary of $27,111 with a standard deviation of $6,948 while the 32 female faculty gave a mean starting salary of $25,000 with a standard deviation of $7,966. the standard error of the difference is $1,868.14.
