The Male Advantage: A step by step blueprint for achieving Outlier Male status

Product Information

To achieve these goals, a two stage process was used, similar to the approach proposed by Voyer and Voyer ( 2014) in the analysis of sex differences in scholastic achievement. Specifically, because many researchers used a variety of relevant measures of visual-spatial working memory in their design, the typical fixed effect or random effect meta-analysis would require collapsing across these tests or randomly selecting one effect size to avoid violation of the homogeneity of effect sizes assumption (Borenstein et al., 2009). Accordingly, the present analysis relied on the multilevel modeling approach to meta-analysis (Hox, 2008; Raudenbush & Bryk, 2002), because it makes no assumption concerning independence of effects and it applies readily to the hierarchical structure of a meta-analysis. Therefore, as a first step, computation of the overall effect size and of the moderator analysis relied on this approach. There are two types of advantage in sport: competition advantages and category advantages. Competition advantages are the sorts of things that we let play out in sport: who is the most skilful, or fastest, or the best tactician? And, yes, sometimes, we are interested in who has the biggest genetic gifts, like the lung capacity of cyclist Miguel Indurain or the wingspan of swimmer Michael Phelps – and what they can do with it.

The true difference between men and women’s bodies – and what

Other sporting bodies have proposed stricter eligibility rules, including Rugby Football Union, the Rugby Football League, British Triathlon and British Athletics, based on excluding male advantage gained through puberty or “androgenisation” (the process leading to irreversible musculoskeletal and cardiovascular changes at puberty) from female competition. Because location seems to be a central component of so many tasks, it is important to distinguish the studies sampled here from the ones that were sampled by Voyer, Postma, Brake, and Imperato-McGinley ( 2007) in their meta-analysis of sex differences in object location memory. Their analysis focused mostly on tasks similar to the one proposed by Silverman and Eals ( 1992), in which a large array of objects is memorized and, after an intervening object identity memory task, participants are tasked to identify moved and unmoved objects. Essentially, the time interval between encoding and retrieval is typically too long and the number of objects is too numerous to fit within the limits of working memory (Cowan, 2008). Therefore, the location tasks included in the present analysis are distinct from the type of task that was discussed by Voyer et al. ( 2007).

Therefore, this part of the discussion will proceed as a function of specific moderators, starting with task as it was only possible to examine it in the overall analysis, then proceeding to those that emerged most frequently and moving on to those that were unique to a specific subgroup of tasks.

With this in mind, we will now proceed to define specifically what we mean by “visual-spatial working memory.” This will be followed by the identification of potential moderators that have found support in the literature. Defining visual-spatial working memory With 25 samples (36 effect sizes), the data obtained with tasks measuring memory for patterns were analyzed with multilevel modeling. However, this analysis failed to reveal any moderator accounting for significant variance in effect sizes (all p> 0.24), despite a significant variance component, χ 2(24) = 59.02, p< 0.001. Despite their small size, the direction of sex differences is fairly consistent in the present analysis, with only one category reflecting a significant female advantage (memory for location in Table 2). This consistency emphasizes the importance of not disregarding completely any small effect as it might have implications in specific contexts. For example, the mere existence of sex differences in visual-spatial working memory should warn clinicians to be cautious when comparing male and female patients. In fact, if the test publisher feels that there is a need to provide separate norms for the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale—Third Edition (WAIS-III; Wechsler, 1997) despite controversial data concerning the existence of sex differences in intelligence (Halpern, 2013), a demonstrated case as we found here should clearly warrant separate norms for males and females. Similarly, it might be advisable to account for the sex difference in building models of visual-spatial working memory. Essentially, much empirical research is required before we can state without a doubt that males and females process visual-spatial working memory tasks in the same way. In the meantime, it might be advisable to examine model fit separately for male and female samples.

In Chapter 7 “Deviance, Crime, and Social Control”, we talked about “white privilege,” the advantages that whites automatically have in a racist society whether or not they realize they have these advantages. Many scholars also talk about male privilege, or the advantages that males automatically have in a patriarchal society whether or not they realize they have these advantages (McIntosh, 2007). As a simple way to examine the potential influence of the file-drawer problem on our results, we compared the mean estimated effect sizes for samples obtained from published ( k = 88 samples) and unpublished research ( k = 10 samples). This analysis showed no significant influence of publication status: χ 2 (1) = 0.001, p> 0.5. This suggests no evidence of a publication bias in the present sample. Casey, B.
