Reference no: EM13108049

Gender differences in dream content are well documented (Winget & kramer, 1979). Suppose a researcher studies aggression content in the dreams of men and women. Each participant reports his or her most recent dreams. Each dream is judged by a panel of experts to have low,medium, or high aggression content. The observed frequencies are shown in the following matrix:

Aggression Content

Low Medium High

Female - 18 4 2

Gender

Male - 4 17 15

Is there a relationship between gender and the aggression content of dreams? Test with x=.01.
