Document Summary
Theory: takes more visual spatial ability to judge the distance of a quarry and judge how far to throw a spear than it does to birth and raise a baby. Beliefs about what men and women are like are stable and consistent across cultures: women: more concerned with nurturing, men: more concerned with actions and accomplishments. More emotionally expressive, experience a wider range of all other emotions. Believed to pursue different hobbies and careers: men: auto mechanic, carpenter, jet pilot, civil engineer, women: nurse, art teacher, social worker. Communion: a traditionally feminine way of approaching the social world concerned with nurturing and getting along with others. Agency: a traditionally masculine way of approaching the social world concerned with actions and accomplishments. To compare findings across studies we will need to understand effect size: a statistic that estimates the average difference between two groups.
