gender differences
Male-female behavioral variations
Gender differences are the ways males and females tend to differ—in biology, psychology, behavior, or social roles.
The term appears in scientific research on cognition, communication styles, and physical traits, as well as in debates about how much difference is innate versus culturally constructed.
Studies on gender differences in spatial reasoning show mixed results.
The phrase often signals contested territory, with some emphasizing biological factors and others social conditioning.
