Similarly, the General Linear Model was run to test whether there were separate and/or joint
effects of student gender and age on their interests in a higher degree due to their employers’
expectation.

Table 5
shows that at p<.05, there was only separate effect of student age on the level of
students’ interests in a higher degree due to employers’ expectation. There was no significant
difference between male and female students in this scale.
There was also no joint effect of both gender and age on students’ interest in higher degrees
due to their employers’ expectation. The post-hoc test’s results showed that the students under
25 years old were significantly less interested in a higher degree due to the employers’
expectation than those who were in 45-54 year-old range at p<.05 (table 6, graph 2). The 45-
54 year-old students seemed to be affected most by their employers’ expectation when they
decided to take a higher degree course.
