Document Summary
Communion: a traditionally feminine way of approaching the social world concerned with nurturing and getting along with others. Agency: a traditionally masculine way of approaching the social world concerned with actions and accomplishments. A stereotype is a generalization about a group of people, in which attributes are assumed to be true of all members of the group regardless of the actual variation among group members. Effect size: a statistic that estimates the average difference between two groups. Effect size is estimated using statistic d: where mm is the average score for males and mt is the average score for females and s is the average standard deviation of the male and female score. You can see from this formula that when males score higher than females on average, then d will be positive. When females score higher than males on average, then d will be negative.
