However, when one observes men and women involved in an aggressive behavior, it is more likely that sex differences will be notable.

She begins by discussing the effects of provocation and emotional arousal on aggression

Widespread gender stereotypes often assume vast psychological differences between males and females. This assumption is perhaps unsurprising as there are marked biological differences between the sexes and gender is one of our most salient characteristics (Macrae & Bodenhausen, 2000). The current essay explores what meta-analyses reveal about the strength of sex differences in human behaviour and cognition. Its structure is based on Cohen’s definitions for large (d=0.80), moderate (d=0.50) and small

There are many well-documented cases of sex differences in spatial behavior among rats. According to Bettis and Jacobs (2009), female rats tend to outperform male rats on object recognition tasks. Bettis and Jacobs (2009) found that male rats focus on directional cues. Female rats, on the other hand, look at local cues which show them where items are positioned on the maze in comparison to the room (Bettis and Jacobs, 2009). Therefore, Bettis and Jacobs (2009) claimed that female rats are better
