Hypothesis
The role of the father will be the most significant predictor of circumcision, the couvade, and protest masculinity (172).
Note
For each of the three dependent variables, the relevent conditions proposed to affect primary and secondary sex identifications were held constant, while the role of the father varied. The role of the father emerged as the only significant predictor of each dependent varialble.
