It's hard to walk through a bookstore without being bombarded with advice on decoding the other sex's cryptic behavior; a few classics are Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus, The Female Brain, and the ever-so- helpful Guys are Waffles, Girls are Spaghetti. Sitcoms, romantic comedies, and action movies all tend to exploit traditional gender roles too: females worry, nag, and primp while males theorize, womanize, and ride to the rescue. Unfortunately, the actual science behind gender gaps isn't nearly as clear cut. It's a miasma of conflicting results, non-replicable studies, and varying effect sizes. And when you think about the complexities involved, it's no wonder there's a lot of confusion. Researchers studying gender differences must deal with genetics, physiology, behavior, culture, age, environment, race, and innumerable other variables. Behavior is also extremely sensitive to context, which muddies the waters further. Evaluating and interpreting the d
