男性和女性在某些心理领域存在明显差异。 A. H. Eagly (1995) 表明这些差异不是人为的或不稳定的。理想情况下，下一步的科学步骤是开发一个令人信服的解释框架，以理解为什么性别在某些心理领域存在差异，而在其他心理领域没有差异，并对尚未发现的性别差异做出准确的预测。本文简要概述了心理性别差异的解释框架，该框架植根于进化心理学的新理论范式。在这种观点中，男性和女性在人类进化史上面临不同适应性问题的领域存在差异。在所有其他领域，预计性别在心理上是相似的。进化心理学抛弃了生物学和环境之间的错误二分法，并提供了一个强有力的元理论来解释性别差异为何存在、存在于何处以及在什么背景下表现出来（D. M Buss，1995）。
Men and women clearly differ in some psychological domains. A. H. Eagly (1995) shows that these differences are not artifactual or unstable. Ideally, the next scientific step is to develop a cogent explanatory framework for understanding why the sexes differ in some psychological domains and not in others and for generating accurate predictions about sex differences as yet undiscovered. This article offers a brief outline of an explanatory framework for psychological sex differences-one that is anchored in the new theoretical paradigm of evolutionary psychology Men and women differ, in this view in domains in which they have faced different adaptive problems over human evolutionary history In all other domains, the sexes are predicted to be psychologically similar. Evolutionary psychology jettisons the false dichotomy between biology and environment and provides a powerful metatheory of why sex differences exist, where they exist, and in what contexts they are expressed (D. M Buss, 1995).
