    Explanation:

    Since all the students are from a psychology class the demographic of this class is some what in a fixed range or most of the participants are within a certain age group save for outliers. In order to understand the way men and women react participants of the study should be from different age groups. In addition to this, the participants should also be of various walks of life and various specialities.

    Reaction time is not certain to be dependent on gender and making such a claim with a restricted group is a research based on false premises. It must also be noted that reaction time is a skill that could be trained for specific fields as this could be a requirement.
