You must review current research on anyone sex difference in order to come to specific conclusions regarding (a) the validity of the observed difference (in other words, does it
really exist?) and/or (b) the nature/strength of the observed difference (in other words, how large is it, and what exactly does it look like?). Sex differences may include (but are not limited to) higher aggression in males, higher emotionality in females, higher assertiveness in males, or lower self-esteem in females. (Any behavioral/psychological sex difference discussed in the course or in the textbook is suitable.)
The goal of this written assignment is to review and assess recent
research in gender psychology.n you
choose, you must cite a minimum of 5 primary source / peer-reviewed studies in your review. Primary source
articles are those which present original findings for the first time (and do not include review articles or meta-analyses, although these may be used in addition to your 5 primary sources). The 5 primary source articles
cited in your paper must be from 2015 or later (no exceptions) in order for your conclusions to reflect the
CURRENT research in the field. Although additional sources may be cited in your paper, the focus should very
clearly be on recent research.
