SEX DIFFERENCES IN NANOBLOCK ASSEMBLY PERFORMANCE 3
Abstract
The Nano block assembly is an arduous and complicated task. Particular cognitive, intellectual
abilities and attention span are required from both male and female to accomplish the task. The
literature provides substantial data that depict the significant difference between males and
females’ abilities to perform that task — the current study aimed at investigating the sex
differences in Nano block model performance. The lab experiment was conducted to investigate
the sex difference in a performance test. The 25 participants were selected for the current study
among which 11 were females and 14 males. The participants have been distributed into two
groups, i.e., the group who received the instruction and the group who did not receive the
intervention. The participants were given a Nano block model picture and material to complete
the task. Each member was given 30 minutes to complete the task. Anova and t-test were used to
analyse the results. The results of the analysis suggested that male performed better with and
without instruction in the accomplishing their task as compared to females. Furthermore, the
quality of work was also higher among males as compared to females.
