Male dominance in conversation is encouraged by the adult
socialization pattern in which men routinely interrupt the conversation
of women and develop a topic out of turn.
The purpose of this study was to investigate verbal interruptive
behavior by utilizing an experimental approach focusing on children's
interruptions and teacher responses...
Sex differences in bone mass and size are thought to contribute to the greater incidence of vertebral fractures in women. While these sex differences are widely recognized, the relative contributions of bone mass, bone density, and bone size to the differences in vertebral strength and fracture risk between men and...
Many diseases cause a heavier burden on women than on men; however, treatment guidelines are based largely on data on men (NCBI, 2012). It becomes obvious that certain differences in genetics between men and women account for specific sex-related diseases, but there is too spare research focus on that issue....
Background: While males generally outperform females in athletic tasks, the underlying mechanisms for this difference remain unclear. Explosive neuromuscular performance of the triple extensors, often investigated via rate of torque development (RTD), is crucial for athletic tasks such as a vertical jump. Purpose: To assess sex differences in rapid torque...
The purpose of this investigation was to determine whether sex-role
identification differences among college students were related to place
of residence, and if so, whether certain factors affect these
differences. Six hypotheses were developed. The study sought to
ascertain if sex-role identification is related to certain dimensions of
peer association...
“Making Connections” is about helping students see the “big picture”; to understand the web of overlapping causes and effects of attitudes, beliefs, actions, behaviors, and habits that connect people and the natural world in community. With these exercises, we hope students will become more aware of how their decisions affect...
Anti-predator behaviors like vigilance or hiding come at the expense of other fitness increasing behaviors such as foraging. To compensate for this trade-off, prey assess predation risk and modify the frequency of anti-predator behaviors according to the likelihood of the threat. In this study, we tested the ability of house...

Many educators are currently revising their curricula
to include critical thinking. However, there are factors
which apparently allow some students to become better
critical thinkers than others. Such factors are the concern
of two mentors of this researcher: Ron Manuto and Lloyd
Crisp. Both the Manuto and Crisp (1987) and...
The two major purposes of this study were: (1) to test the
assumption that the IT Scale for Children (standard-ITSC) can be used
as a measure of both appropriate sex role discrimination and sex role
preference with preschool aged children, and (2) to extend previous
studies in these areas by...
