r words in the list to reduce the notions of primacy and recency effects. Then a ratio was devised by using how the number of the words that the children recalled. Each word recalled was separated into its? respective category of like the self of or nice. Using these separations, a ratio was calculated. There also was a computation done for the response to the ?nice? question.The design of the experiment was a 2x2x2, which were self-aware vs. non-self-aware by gender by prosocial self-schema.The result of the first study concluded that private self-awareness is linked to the behavior displayed. They also was a three way interaction found. The interaction was found in the non-self-aware females, self-aware females, and the non-self-aware males.The experimenters conducted the second study with the same paradigm as in the first experiment. In this experiment, they were attempting to explore the reasons for the differences in gender that were discovered in the first study. There are two types of gender differences. The types of gender differences are for males, they are generally more assertive, and females are generally more nurturing.The results show that females have a higher prosocial self-schema. The males had a lower prosocial self-schema. There was also no interaction found in this study, like the three way interaction found in the first study. The third study was conducted to examine the presence or absence of gender differences more explicitly in the matter of salience of the behavior-specifying material.It was found that their initial hypothesis was confirmed, that private self-schemas could regulate behavior under the condition of private self-awareness.I feel that this study is important because it may be able to predict future behaviors of different students latter in life. The prediction of prosocial behavior can be useful latter in life. These predictions would allow us to be better prepared for things that might o...
