Document Summary

Sex differences: average differences between men and women in personality or behavior. The question of sex differences in temperament is arguably one of the most fundamental questions in gender differences research in the areas of personality and social behavior. Temperament reflects biologically based emotional and behavioral consistencies that appear early in life and predict patterns and outcomes in numerous other domains. Inhibitory control refers to the ability to control inappropriate responses or behaviors. Perceptual sensitivity refers to the ability to detect subtle stimuli from the environment girls on average more sensitive then boys. Inhibitory control is related to the later development of the personality trait of conscientiousness. Exception to this is fearfulness, girls tend to be more fearful then boys. In summary, girls show more inhibitory control and boys show higher levels of surgency. Agreeableness: women score higher then men on agreeableness. Conscientiousness: women score slightly higher then men on order (d= -0. 13).
