Intelligence in men may be related more to information processing ability, e.g math ability
Intelligence in men may be related more to information transmission ability, e.g math ability
Intelligence in men may be related more to information processing ability, e.g spatial ability
Intelligence in men may be related more to information transmission ability, e.g spatial ability
7. What is an effect size?
The probability of the difference occuring (Cohens D is most common)
The significance of the difference (Cohens V is most common)
The significance of the difference (Cohens D is most common)
The probability of the difference occuring (Cohens V is most common)

In a matriarchal society where genetic bg was shared, females outperformed males on spatial ability tests
In a matriarchal society where genetic bg was not shared, females outperformed males on spatial ability tests
In a matriarchal society where genetic bg was shared, males outperformed females on spatial ability tests
10. Which of these is NOT correct?
There is no effect size in favour of women in verbal ability

There is a medium effect size in favour of men for spatial ability
There is a large effect size in favour of men in general IQ
There is a small effect size in favour of men for math ability
11. What does the Global Gender Index show about inequality?
Nations with greater 'equality' portray smaller gender differences in math performance
Nations with greater 'equality' portray larger gender differences in math performance
12. What is greater male variability? (GVM)
There is a greater variability in intellectual abilities of males compared to females (Ellis, 1894), not universal but is present in other countries (due to socioculture)
There is a greater variability in intellectual abilities of males compared to females (Ellis, 1894), not universal but is present in other countries (due to biology)
There is a greater variability in intellectual abilities of females compared to males (Ellis, 1894), not universal but is present in other countries (due to socioculture)
There is a greater variability in intellectual abilities of females compared to males (Ellis, 1894), not universal but is present in other countries (due to biology)
13. What did the meta analysis of approx 4 million pps by Hyde et al (1990) show?
Overall no sex difference in math performance d = -0.05.
Overall no sex difference in math performance d = 0.80.
Overall there were sex differences in math performance d = -0.05.
Overall there were sex differences in math performance d = -0.80.
14. Which hormone has been found to be related to higher performance in spatial ability tasks?
Testosterone
Oestrogen
15. What is stereotype threat?
Negative stereotypes about different social groups can affect ability
Positive stereotypes about different social groups can affect ability
16. What did research by Olsen et al (2013) suggest about strategies in intelligence?
Males performed better on mental rotation tasks using global strategies whilst females use 'step-like' strategies
Females performed better on mental rotation tasks using global strategies whilst males use 'step-like' strategies
17. What is the main function of white matter?
Information transmission
Information processing
18. What was the main finding of Choi & Silverman (1996)?
Testosterone was posi related to using distance and cardinal directions when giving directions as opposed to landmarks
Among men, landmarks were used when giving directions as opposed to distances and cardinal directions
Women were more likely to use distances and cardinal measurements to describe directions than men
19. What did a replicate study of Hyde et al (1990) find?
High school males performed better than females
High school females performed better than males
20. What is the evolutionary theory posited by Jones et al (2003)?
Males with greater math ability more likely to win wars, get supplies, maintain relationships, leading to greater reproductive success
Males with lower math ability more likely to win wars, get supplies, maintain relationships, leading to greater reproductive success
Males with greater spatial ability more likely to win wars, get supplies, maintain relationships, leading to greater reproductive success
Males with lower spatial ability more likely to win wars, get supplies, maintain relationships, leading to greater reproductive success
