Variability: A Pernicious Hypothesis.
Noddings, Nel
Review of Educational Research, v62 n1 p85-88 Spr 1992
The hypothesis of greater male variability in test results is discussed in its historical context, and reasons feminists have objected to the hypothesis are considered. The hypothesis acquires political importance if it is considered that variability results from biological, rather than cultural, differences. (SLD)
