尽管在人们报告他们的总体信心时，性别差异是相当一致的，但当人们评估他们对自己回答任何特定测试问题的能力的信心程度时，对这种差异的了解要少得多。本研究的目的是探讨特定项目的信心判断的性别差异。数据收集从三个心理学课程，其中包括70名男性和181名女性。在回答了课程考试中的每一个问题后，学生们表示他们相信他们的答案是正确的。结果表明，性别差异的信心是依赖于上下文（无论项目是正确的还是错误的）和域被测试。此外，尽管男性和女性都过于自信，但本科生男性在错误时尤其过于自信。
Although gender differences are fairly consistent when people report their general confidence, much less is known about such differences when individuals assess the degree of confidence they have in their ability to answer any particular test question. The objective of this research was to investigate gender differences in item-specific confidence judgments. Data were collected from three psychology courses containing 70 men and 181 women. After answering each item on course exams, students indicated their confidence that their answer to that item was correct. Results showed that gender differences in confidence are dependent on the context (whether items were correct or wrong) and on the domain being tested. Moreover, although both men and women were overconfident, undergraduate men were especially overconfident when incorrect.
