   Question

   The table below is taken from an article by Hilde Coffé from 2013.
   Look at the column of the variable “Politics”. This dependent variable measures one’s interest in politics, measured on a scale that runs from 1 (“not at all interested”) to 4 (“very interested”).

   We want to know the effect of gender. The dummy variable “Female” (see first row in the table) is coded as follows: 0=male; 1=female. How should we interpret the b coefficient of -0.114 that reflects the effect represents the effect of gender on the level of interest in politics (“Politics”)?

   _{(source:Coffé,‗Women stay local,‗men go national and global,‗ Gender differences in political interest.}
   

   
   
   1. FALSE: Men score 0.114 point lower on interest in politics than women, controlled for the other variables in the model.
   2. TRUE: Women score 0.114 point lower on interest in politics than men, controlled for the other variables in the model.
   3. FALSE: The proportion of men who are interested in politics is 11.4 percent point lower than the proportion of women interested in politics, controlled for the other variables in the model.
   4. FALSE: The proportion of women interested in politics is 11.4 percent point lower than the proportion of men interested in politics, controlled for the other variables in the model.
   
   
   1. False
   2. True
   3. False
   4. False
