For intrinsic motivation, the first column presents the coefficients without controlling for sex, the second column presents the coefficients controlling for sex, and the third column presents the coefficients controlling for sex and social desirability. For exam performance, the first column presents the coefficients without controlling for sex, the second column presents the coefficients controlling for sex, and the third column presents the coefficients controlling for sex and SAT score.
