Özet
Introduction/Objectives
Some studies have shown that gender differences influence
attention. In this study, we used multitasking to assess auditory and visual
attention in relation to gender differences.
Materials and methods
The study included 86 participants (46 females, 40
males) aged 18-24 years. Participants
were asked to perform a monkey business illusion test (visual attention test)
with a song with pure sounds hidden in the background. On-ear headphones were
worn by the participants and the song and video were played at the same time.
While participants were watching the video with music and pure tone stimuli in
both groups, requested to count the number of women wearing white t-shirts.
Results
As a result of the comparison made within the fully
aroused group in terms of visual and attention according to gender, no statistically
significant difference was found between male and female subjects in terms of
recognizing the gorilla, the curtain color and the girl coming out of the
stage, and recognizing the pure tone stimuli at 500 Hz, 1000 Hz, 2000 Hz, 4000
Hz and 6000 Hz.
Conclusion
The effect of the gender factor both on auditory and
visual attention was also investigated. As a result of these analyses, it was
seen that there was no statistically significant difference between girls and
boys on attention. Although the results in the literature vary, in many
studies, gender difference is not found to be effective on attention as in this
study.
