   Question

   In the partial correlation matrix below, including zero-order correlations, we examined the relationship between gender and income and whether this relationship changes when holding the number of working hours constant. There is Y = income (INCOME: a higher score means a higher earned income), X = sex (GENDER: 0 = male; 1 = female), and the variable (Z) held constant in the lower part of the matrix is labor hours (WRKHRS: number of hours per week spent in labor).

   

   How should we interpret the correlation of -.346 substantively?

   
   
   1. FALSE: The higher the income, the less the number of hours worked, where sex is held constant.
   2. FALSE: The more hours worked, the higher the income, with sex held held constant.
   3. TRUE: Women have lower income than men, when men and women with the same number of working hours are compared.
   4. FALSE: Women work fewer hours than men, when men and women with the same income are compared.
   
   
   1. False
   2. False
   3. True
   4. False
