Correlation between reaction time (or memory score) and serum testosterone and TSH, T4 was analyzed using Pearson's correlational analysis.
Nineteen of the twenty-two items had a correlation at or above .5, thereby achieving the target range of acceptable inter-rater reliability with respect to correlational analysis. We were unable to calculate a correlation for three items (5.1, 5.2, and 5.3) due to one or more raters providing the same score on the same item for all four interviews (correlation requires variability, and without this variability the correlation statistic cannot be run).
To evaluate the consistency between participants' IAT results and their explicit ratings for the individual concepts of student and athlete (9-point scales), we conducted a correlational analysis. For each participant, we subtracted their number of correct categorizations during the athlete-related concepts with feminine terms (and student-related concepts with masculine terms) phase from their number during the athlete-related concepts with masculine terms (and student-related concepts with feminine terms).
We used the delta value of each VF task (VF task score for the 60 Hz condition minus the VF task score for the 130 Hz condition) and of the UPDRS-III scores (UPDRS-III score for 60 Hz minus UPDRS-III score for 130 Hz) in the correlational analysis.
