These are study questions for you to use in preparation for tests. They are not to be turned in. Test questions will be taken from lectures, writing/discussion assignments, and study questions.

1.	Maccoby and Jaclin (1974), Deaux (1985), and others have published reviews of the sex differences literature. What are the most important conclusions from that work? In what four areas have sex differences been found? Be sure to note in your answer that the existence of a difference does not tell us anything about why that difference exists. Be sure to note in your answer that although these sex differences were statistically significant, in every case the amount of difference between sexes was vastly smaller than the variability within the population of males or the population of the females. Why is that important? (K 38)
