Sex Differences in Problem Solving.
Johnson, Edward S.
Journal of Educational Psychology, v76 n6 p1359-71 Dec 1984
Nine experiments were performed to verify and extend studies on sex differences in problem solving conducted in the 1950s by Sweeney, Carey, Milton, Nakamura, and Berry. A 20-item problem set was administered to over 1,000 college students. Results indicated a male advantage, averaging 35 percent, virtually identical with 1950s results. (Author/BS)
