进行了两项分析来检验全球自尊的性别差异。在分析 I 中,计算机化文献检索产生了 216 个效应量,代表了 97,121 名受访者的测试。总体效应大小为 0.21,这一微小差异有利于男性。年龄的显着二次效应表明最大的效应出现在青春期后期(d = 0.33)。在分析中,使用国家教育统计中心 (NCES) 的 3 个大型、具有全国代表性的数据集对性别差异进行了检查。所有 NCES 效应大小汇总了大约 48,000 名美国年轻人的反应,表明男性有更高的自尊(ds 范围为 0.04 至 0.24)。总而言之,这两项分析提供的证据表明,男性在全球自尊的标准衡量指标上得分更高。高于女性,但差异很小。讨论了效应量小但一致的潜在原因。
Two analyses were conducted to examine gender differences in global self-esteem. In Analysis I, a computerized literature search yielded 216 effect sizes, representing the testing of 97,121 respondents. The overall effect size was 0.21, a small difference favoring males. A significant quadratic effect of age indicated that the largest effect emerged in late adolescence (d = 0.33). In Analysis Di gender differences were examined using 3 large, nationally representative data sets from the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES). All of the NCES effect sizes, which collectively summarize the responses of approximately 48,000 young Americans, indicated higher male self-esteem (ds ranged from 0.04 to 0.24). Taken together, the 2 analyses provide evidence that males score higher on standard measures of global self-esteem. than females, but the difference is small. Potential reasons for the small yet consistent effect size are discussed.
