Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

I think the paper should be considered for publication, after a minor revision.

The literature review should be linked more to the research questions and introduction.

Methods should be better described.

Also, I suggest revising the discussion of the implications, highlighting result importance and the stream of studies you are contributing.

Thank you very much for your comment. We've added justification of usage in the study the Brown-Forsythe and Levene's tests in the methodology part (now line 157-163).

Thank you very much for your comment. We've added the implications in the conclusion part (line 344-346), and we highlighted the importance of the article in a separate paragraph (line 347-351).

 

We thank you once again for your useful advice and suggestions.

Reviewer 2 Report

Overall, this paper is a good read. One minor recommendation is to clearly include the used sample size i.e. how many women and men were surveyed.
