Researchers examined whether sex-related differences are universal, influenced by cultural norms, related to opportunities to express certain behaviors, and weaker or stronger among nations with more development and less gender inequality.
By Pooja Toshniwal PahariaReviewed by Danielle Ellis, B.Sc.Jun 18 2024 In a recent study published in Scientific Reports, researchers examined whether sex-related differences are universal, influenced by cultural norms, related to opportunities to express certain behaviors, and weaker or stronger among nations with more development and less gender inequality.
About the study In the present study, researchers investigated gender variations in average consumption frequency across civilizations. They specifically examined whether gender inequalities among countries would be the same, smaller in nations with more gender equality and human development, or stronger.
Using a multilevel method, the researchers evaluated the variation in meat intake frequency between nations. They developed an intercept-only statistical model to determine the requirements and rationale for this approach. The researchers then used first-level predictors such as linear age, quadratic age, and binary gender for random intercept modeling.
Related StoriesThe random intercept model explained more variation than the intercept-only statistical model. The model using random coefficients for age, sex, and quadratic age terms had model convergence difficulties, indicating that age effect slopes were consistent across nations. However, modeling with only gender slopes explained more variation than random intercept modeling.
