An Evolutionary Psychological Perspective on Gender Similarities and Differences
Davies, Alastair P. C.; Shackelford, Todd K.
American Psychologist, v61 n6 p640-641 Sep 2006
Comments on the article by J. S. Hyde (see record EJ733581), which reviewed the results of 46 meta-analyses of studies investigating gender differences and produced results that supported the gender similarities hypothesis that men and women are similar along most psychological traits. The current authors agree with the gender similarities hypothesis but argue here that Hyde's review has limitations that caused it to underestimate the true extent of gender differences. They also outline the benefits of adopting an evolutionary psychological perspective on gender differences.
