Effects of orienting instructions, monetary incentives, and sex of listeners on listening comprehension.
The study investigated the effects of orienting instructions, monetary incentives, and sex of the listener on performance on a test of listening comprehension. Neither orienting instructions nor monetary incentives resulted in significant differences, but undergraduate men (n = 64) scored significantly higher than the women (n = 56) on the listening comprehension test.
