QUANTITATIVE RESEARCH ASSIGNMENT

Separate and joint effects of student gender and student age on their interests in career advancement
Commented [UoN3]

Separate and joint effects of student gender and student age on their interests in a higher
degree
The General Linear Model was run to test whether there are separate and/or joint effects of
student gender and student age on their interests in a higher degree. The survey questions were
to test the level of students’ interests in a higher degree. The interests were categorized into
four main areas: career advancement, employers’ expectation, general interest in education
studies, particular area of interest or the desire for an intellectual challenge.
Separate and joint effects of student gender and student age on their interests in career
advancement

career advancement; yet there was no effect of student gender on this scale. In other words,
there was not any significant difference in the level of interests in career advancement between
male and female student at p<.05. However, the students’ age ranges significantly influenced
their interest in career development at p<.05. A post-hoc test was run to find out which age
ranges were different from each other (Table 4, Graph 1).It was revealed that when the students
got older, their interest in career advancement significantly decreased at p<.05. Students over
54 years old were significantly less interested in career development than other age ranges at

p<.05. The findings showed that younger students appeared to have stronger desire for
promotion at work and they considered it a more important reason for pursuing a higher degree.
