To analyse the results of an investigation into gender socialization, a researcher calculated the median gender-conforming play preference score from a questionnaire completed by young children in two different conditions. A higher score in the questionnaire indicates a stronger preference for traditional gender-stereotyped toys. The results are shown in Table 3.
| Group A (exposed to traditional gender-segregated toy catalog) | Group B (exposed to gender-neutral toy catalog) | |
|---|---|---|
| Median gender-conforming play preference score (out of 80) | 58 | 33 |
What conclusion could the researcher draw from the results in Table 3? Justify your answer.
