Sex Differences in Antisocial Behavior: Does Research Methodology Produce or Abolish Them?

Abstract: The literature on sex differences in antisocial behavior is classified into two categories: those studies which demonstrate boys to be more antisocial and those which show no difference. It is pointed out that both a failure experience and the presence of an adult during the dependent measure are conducive to the first type of outcome, whereas success or no-failure experiences and the absence of an adult are conducive to the second type.

“…Much work has been done that specifically attempts to draw attention to as well as eliminate sexist bias within psychology. This work includes the development of guidelines for non-sexist research (McHugh, Koeske, & Frieze, 1981; Stark-Adamec & Kimball, 1984), critiques of research that excludes or misrepresents women (Caplan 1975; Eagley, 1978; Frodi, Macaulay, & Thorne, 1977; Kimball, 1981; Shields, 1975a), and methodological critiques (Favreau, 1977, Favreau, 1982; Hyde, 1981, Hyde, 1984) that are essential to building a feminist psychology of women.…”
