Implications for school achievement and causality
Gender differences in scholastic achievement
A female advantage in school marks is a common finding in education research, and it extends to most course subjects (e.g., language, math, science), unlike what is found on achievement tests. However, questions remain concerning the quantification of these gender differences and the identification of relevant moderator variables. The present meta-analysis answered these questions by examining studies that included an evaluation of gender differe…
Perceptual asymmetries and stimulus dominance in dichotic listening with natural fricatives
Young Adults' Perceptions of Stepchildren
The purpose of this study was to investigate the perceptions of young adults regarding children from stepfamilies and biological families. A total of 140 university students rated the family position labels brother, sister, stepbrother, and stepsister on nine bipolar evaluative adjectives. The results revealed that sisters were perceived more positively than stepsisters and brothers more positively than stepbrothers. As the number of children who…
The Relation Between Experience and Spatial Performance in Men and Women
Magnitude of sex differences in spatial abilities
Magnitude of sex differences in spatial abilities
In recent years, the magnitude, consistency, and stability across time of cognitive sex differences have been questioned. The present study examined these issues in the context of spatial abilities. A meta-analysis of 286 effect sizes from a variety of spatial ability measures was conducted. Effect sizes were partitioned by the specific test used and by a number of variables related to the experimental procedure in order to achieve homogeneity. R…
