Sarah should check to see if the two sets of indicators represent different dimensions of prejudice. Just because women are more prejudiced on some indicators does not necessarily mean they are more prejudiced overall, as different dimensions of prejudice could have different gender patterns. By examining the dimensions of prejudice, Sarah may be able to draw more accurate conclusions about gender differences in prejudice.
