下線部aの other things being equal が「他の条件が同じならば」という仮定法の意味になるのはなぜですか？

(2) (8) Extensive research has indicated that the more a person talks、 the more
positively they are evaluated、 other things being equal. (b) What this indicates

js that it is not an excessive amount of talking that causes people to have
negative reactions: it is the quality of the content. For example, if someone is

constantly talking about what a good student or a good employee you are, you
do not become upset with this amount of talk. On the other hand, 議 someone js
constantly talking about what a good student or what a good employee he or
she is, you may become upset with this amount of talk. Hence, it is the quajity

and not the quantity of talk that is inportant in determining othe  reactions.

(』) 広範囲にちたる調査によれば、他の条件が同じならば、人は話をするほどに、
青定的に評価されるようになるのである。

こちらは仮定法ではなく、分詞構文で、if other things are equalと言っているのと同じです。接続詞をカットして動詞を分詞に直しています(^^)
