Description

Janet Shibley Hyde, Evjue-Bascom Professor & Helen Thompson Woolley Professor of Psychology and Gender & Women's Studies and Director at the Center for Research on Gender & Women at the University of Wisconsin, Madison

The media portrays psychological differences between women and men as large and biologically determined--men are from Mars, women are from Venus. Dr. Hyde's research uses the statistical method of meta-analysis to investigate whether these claims are accurate. The results are surprising.
