Abstract | This pamphlet examines the misconception that one's gender is a significant predictor of abilities and interests. Knowing whether an individual is female or male tells a great deal biologically but very little otherwise. Gender is not a good predictor of academic skills, interests or emotional characteristics. Sections of the pamphlet include: (1) "How Much Does Gender Count?"; (2) "How Big Are the Differences?"; (3) "Myths and Realities"; (4) "Why Do Myths Persist?"; and (5) "Is It Real or Is It a Stereotype?". An 8-item reference and sources section concludes the pamphlet. (EH) |
