Abstract | Used meta analysis to test predictions from psychoanalytic, parental investment, and differential socialization theories regarding gender differences in ability to resist temptation. Found that although females showed more restraint than males with a very small effect size, there were appreciable differences on forbidden-object tasks and very small differences on two cheating tasks. None of the theories could account for task differences. Explored evolutionary-based explanations for gender differences by task. (Author/KB) |
