In the femalevoiced manipulation , lowerskilled players were less positive , while higher skilled players were more positiveand Skill did not moderate focal player positivity towards a malevoiced teammate , but higher skilled individuals were less negative . andTaken together , these results suggest that it is lowerskilled poorerperforming males that are significantly more hostile towards females , and higherskilled focal players are more supportive . The study is pretty interesting , and I feel the way they did it was pretty solid . The sample size is pretty small though , but it would be pretty time consuming to get a bigger sample size . Would be cool to see differences in regions and gamessystem as well . So I wouldn ' t really use this study as a definitive on amount of hostility , and especially not by saying studies show . when linking one study .
