Don’t know why you’re being downvoted. Gender isn’t a real thing biologically, it is a societal construct. It describes human behavior. So the gender role of the researcher can’t possibly have an effect on the experiment as it is imaginary. Only the sex of the researcher is what can trigger a response, as there is a biological basis.

> it is a societal construct

That has a two-way relationship with biological factors, statistically at least, meaning it's not entirely social either.

It is 100% social.
Link to the study?
I’ve never heard human behavior called imaginary before.
