When working with a privacy filter, females worked 4. 9 minutes during a ten-minute experimental trial, while men worked 4. 3 minutes. And even without a privacy filter, females worked 2. 5 minutes during ten minutes, while male subjects worked for just 2.1 minutes in the【C5】________amount of time.

    Moreover, men were found to be less productive if a woman was around. When the researcher and subject were both male, the【C8】________time worked was 3.6 minutes.
