In relation to <strong>the</strong> number of areas <strong>report</strong>ed as sensitive, <strong>the</strong> application of <strong>the</strong> chi-square test of<br />
association indicates that <strong>the</strong>re are statistically significant differences in <strong>the</strong> profiles between<br />
male and female ( = 51.21, df = 6, p < .001) with females <strong>report</strong>ing considerably more areas<br />
of concern and with a statistically significant linear component ( = 33.99, df = 1, p < .001).<br />
See Table 5.1(c) for frequencies.<br />

Two-way ANOVAs show that females <strong>report</strong> significantly poorer mean values than males on<br />
DAS24, HADS Anxiety, Positive Affect and Negative Affect (p < .001, in all cases) and those<br />
with a visible concern <strong>report</strong> significantly poorer mean values on DAS24, HADS Anxiety, HADS<br />
Depression, Positive Affect and Negative Affect (p < .001, all cases) and on Aggression (p =<br />
.024)<br />
5.2 Age<br />
Table 5.2(a) summarises <strong>the</strong> extent of <strong>the</strong> correlation between age and each outcome measure<br />
according to gender. In all cases <strong>the</strong> correlations <strong>report</strong>ed are statistically significant correlations<br />
(p < .001).<br />
