Gender similarities, not differences: Women and men are more alike than they are different. Most psychological sex differences are small, and smaller than the differences within each sex.

This led Hyde (2005) to argue the "gender similarities hypothesis", in which her meta-analysis suggests "males and females are similar on most, but not all, psychological variables", and that the average effect size is d >0.35. https://t.co/U05ohKVzLc

@PunishedDisinfo @LastBehaviorist @FatherProgress @roguegovadvisor @mistahbuhau @abbynormative Yes, lots of people get caught up in the “male/female brain” vs “male/female body.” But the article I posted on the Gender Similarities Hypothesis reviews the relevant scientific literature on this. I’d recommend reading it.
@PunishedDisinfo @LastBehaviorist @FatherProgress @roguegovadvisor @mistahbuhau @abbynormative Once again, no one is saying there are “female” mental states. That’s pop psychobabble. I shared an article from the APA outlining the Gender Similarities Hypothesis, which you clearly didn’t even bother to open.
@roguegovadvisor @LastBehaviorist @mistahbuhau @abbynormative If you’d read psychologists, you’d find that there is no “male” or “female” psychology, that there’s just “human” psychology. That’s what the Gender Similarities Hypothesis is, ffs.

@sealy_amanda @janeelisabethh @AmysMargin We report results that demonstrate a strong behavioral sex difference in visual motion perception.

@smh But yet we don't let children have time to truly know who they are The gender similarities hypothesis holds that males and females are similar on most, but not all, psychological variables. That is, men and women, as well as boys and girls, are more alike than they are different
In terms of effect sizes, the gender similarities hypothesis states that most psychological gender differences are in the close-to-zero (d ≤ 0.10) or small (0.11 < d < 0.35) range,
5/ The hypothesis presented in the article is as follows: "The gender similarities hypothesis holds that males and females are similar on most, but not all, psychological variables. That is, men and women, as well as boys and girls, are more alike than they are different.
1/ Please, let me discuss the Gender Similarities Hypothesis based on the article by Janet Shibley Hyde. The article is available here: https://t.co/Gpe6tUG7lO
5) Extensive evidence supports the gender similarities hypothesis: males and females are alike on most— but not all—psychological variables. Overinflated claims of gender differences are not consistent with the scientific data, but still hinder women’s and girl's opportunities.
