Meta-Analysis and the Psychology of Gender Differences.
Hyde, Janet Shibley
Signs: Journal of Women in Culture and Society, v16 n1 p55-73 Fall 1990
Relates the development of theories concerning gender differences in mental ability and reexamines them using meta-analysis. Finds that the greatest difference is in one type of spatial ability, mental rotation. There is only a small difference in mathematical performance, and no difference in verbal ability. (DM)
