Limitations and further research

One big limitation of the study is the sample size of the quasi-experiment. The number of pupils we conducted the experiment with, only amounted to twelve. Additionally, all the pupils were trained in one specific area of expertise. Thus, the experiment does not represent any kind of population group or randomly assigned participants. Furthermore, the participants had different levels of motivation regarding the experiment. Some of them gave up after one minute, so that the researchers had to intervene and ask them to continue. In the end, one must be cautious to transfer the gained knowledge in the study to the general population, as only a slight tendency could be observed. In order to really take more factors into consideration, it would be interesting to have more background information about the participants, such as experience with technical products or topics they are concerned with in their free time. Future research could increase the sample size of the study and use a chair model that requires less strength input, since this was one of the reasons that girls had problems with handling the office chair. Furthermore, we have tried to take as many factors as possible into account that affect the use of technology, but there will always be factors that cannot be taken into consideration within the scope of one experiment.

Further research could focus more intensively on one of the factors. The topic of gender differences is a very broad one, as it extends also into the cognitive behavioral research discipline. This research area has only been developed to a very small extent and offers potential for future investigations.
