I ran an independent-samples t-test to compare perceived stress between males and females. Males had a mean score of 25.79 (SD = 5.41), while females had a mean score of 27.42 (SD = 6.07). The result was statistically significant, t(431) = -2.90, p = .004, and the effect size was small, d = 0.28. This suggests that females in this sample reported slightly higher perceived stress than males.
