Age, sex, and education differences in critical thinking during the adult years were investigated. The Watson-Glaser (1980) Critical Thinking Appraisal was administered to 60 men and women between the ages of 20 and 79. Regression analyses indicated that age was significantly related to overall critical thinking: Performance decreased with increasing age. Education was also significantly related to critical thinking: Performance increased with increasing education. However, an interaction between age and education in the analysis of total critical thinking scores indicated that education was significantly related to critical thinking only in the later adult years. No sex differences were found in critical thinking performance.
对成年期批判性思维中的年龄、性别和教育差异进行了调查。对60名年龄在20至79岁之间的男性和女性进行了沃森-格拉泽批判性思维评估（1980年版）。回归分析表明，年龄与整体批判性思维显著相关：随着年龄增长，表现下降。教育也与批判性思维显著相关：随着教育程度提高，表现上升。然而，在对总批判性思维分数的分析中，年龄和教育之间的交互作用表明，教育仅在成年后期才与批判性思维显著相关。在批判性思维表现方面未发现性别差异。
