Sex Differences and Individual Differences
Plomin, Robert; Foch, Terryl T.
Child Development, v52 n1 p383-5 Mar 1981
Sex differences and their relationship to individual differences were examined for Maccoby and Jacklin's sex differences summaries, for a diverse set of measures of specific cognitive abilities (including verbal ability), and for objective personality assessments of 216 school-age children. Average differences between groups appeared to be trivial compared with individual differences within groups. (Author/RH)
