A
new study finds that men and women are psychologically very different after all, and those age-old gender stereotypes are more accurate than some today would like to admit.
Psychologists at Manchester University and in Italy analysed the results of personality tests which were given to 10,000 people and measured 15 traits.
In keeping with age-old stereotypes, women scored more highly on sensitivity, warmth (attentive to others) and feelings of apprehension, while men fared better on emotional stability, dominance (forceful and aggressive) and rule consciousness, or sense of duty.
The researchers concluded that there were 'extremely large' personality differences between the sexes which could have implications in the workplace.
