Questions relate to a study by Bramwell and Morland (2009) who studied genital appearance and satisfaction in women. As part of that study, they used a multiple regression to determine the contribution of appearance schemas, (a self-report measure relating to the importance of physical appearance in general), body satisfaction and self-esteem to Genital Appearance Satisfaction (GAS – a new questionnaire developed by the authors). The following table is reproduced from the authors’ article (p. 22). The higher the score on the GAS, the less satisfied the women were.

11. Which of the following is true?

a) The weakest predictor is body satisfaction

b) The overall model is statistically non-significant

c) This study did not have enough participants in it, and therefore the results cannot be relied upon

d) Together the predictor variables account for 14% of the variation in GAS
