As can be seen Figure 1 married is still by far the modal category for both males and females. The differences between males and females seem to be small (almost none for divorced), except for widowed where there are relatively many females. Gender and marital status showed to have a significant but negligible association, χ2(4, N = 1941) = 16.99, p < .001, V = .09. A pairwise z-test post hoc analysis with Bonferroni correction revealed that only for widowed there was a significant difference between the male and female percentage, p < .05. There appears to be just a little bit of truth to the stereotype that women are more likely to be widowed. To investigate what might cause this we also looked at……… |
