Communication Using Camera Phones Among Young Men and Women: Who Sends What to Whom
Exploring Children's Stereotypes Through Drawings: The Case of Musical Performance
Drawings of ‘a person’ and of ‘a person playing music’ were collected from children aged seven to eight years and 10–11 years to discover whether children's musical representations would reflect gender differences evident in musical learning and performance, and the increased gender rigidity with age found in instrument preferences. As in previous drawing studies, same sex figures were overwhelmingly portrayed, although older girls drew more oppo…
Personality predictors of levels of forgiveness two and a half years after the transgression
Style and Content in E-Mails and Letters to Male and Female Friends
This study examined gender differences in the style and content of e-mails and letters sent to friends on the topic of how time had been spent in the previous summer. Gender differences were found in both style and content supporting previous findings that female communication is more relational and expressive than that of males and focuses more upon personal and domestic topics. Women used the less formal stylistic conventions of e-mails to sign…
Gender-Linked Differences in Everyday Memory Performance: Effort Makes the Difference
Gender-Linked Differences in the Style and Content of E-Mails to Friends
Previous research has found gender differences in the style of language used in both written communication and face-to-face interaction. Such differences have also been found in electronic interactions with strangers. This study examined the style and content of emails describing a recent holiday written by men and women for male and female friends. In line with traditional gender stereotypes, some gender differences were found in the topics cove…
Childhood play and adolescent leisure preferences: Associations with gender typing and the presence of siblings
Effects of Age, Gender, and Training on Musical Preferences of British Secondary School Students
The effects of age, gender, and musical training on preference ratings for 12 musical style categories were investigated in a sample of 278 British secondary school pupils drawn from the 11–12- and 15–16-year-old age-groups. There were no significant age x gender interactions, but a number of significant main effects were found. There was a general decline in liking with age, and this was particularly apparent for “serious” styles, although those…
Reproduction of complex movements: The effects of the presence of vision during encoding or at recall
This study investigated the role of vision in the encoding and reproduction of movement. Kinaesthetic reproductions of a kinaesthetically presented two‐dimensional movement were compared with reproductions where vision was present either during the standard or at reproduction. The main finding was that the presence of vision during the standard resulted in poorer accuracy and greater underestimation of movement size than when it was absent throug…
Sex roles and explanations of leisure behaviour
There is increasing evidence that men and women have different experiences of leisure, both in terms of their participation and in terms of needs fulfilled by leisure activities. Studies of leisure behaviour have in the past tended to neglect the effects of sex roles which may qualify and limit the results obtained from them. Growing impetus to study the constraints on women's leisure has come from the feminist movement. In order to understand le…
Reproduction of complex two‐dimensional movements as a function of mode of presentation
The experiment reported here examined the kinaesthetic reproduction of two‐dimensional patterns from three different modes of presentation: kinaesthetic only, visual only and visual plus kinaesthetic. The patterns were open and consisted of three linear segments of different lengths. All reproductions tended to underestimate pattern size. Subjects who had received visual experience of the pattern with or without simultaneous kinaesthetic experien…
