Participants’ evaluations of the parent (degree of blame and perceived competence) were
analyzed in a 2 (parent condition: mother or father) x 2 (participant gender) Multivariate
Analysis of Variance (MANOVA). Table 1 provides correlations and descriptive statistics for the
variables that were analyzed. There was a significant main effect for parent gender condition, F
(2, 308) = 11.08, p < .001, partial eta squared = .067. Neither the main effect for participant
gender nor the participant gender by parent gender interaction were significant.
