Conducted a meta-analysis of studies of gender differences in aggression, based on the sample of studies in the EE Maccoby and CN Jacklin (1974) review and a recent sample of studies from 1978 to 1981, for a total of 143 studies. Meta-analysis techniques were also extended to applications of interest to developmental psychologists. The median value of ω–2 for gender differences in aggression was. 05, and the median value of d was. 50, indicating that, although the differences appear fairly reliably, they are not large. There was a trend for gender differences to be smaller in recent studies. Gender differences tended to be larger in naturalistic, correlational studies than in experimental studies. Gender differences also tended to be larger when the method of measurement was direct observation, a projective test, or peer report, and smaller when self-reports or parent or teacher reports were used. Finally, there was a modest negative association between magnitude of gender differences and age. For studies in which mean Ss' age was 6 yrs or less, the median ω–2 was. 07 and d was. 58; in contrast, for studies of college students the median ω–2 was. 01 and d was. 27. Overall results indicate that approximately 5% of the variance in aggression is due to gender differences.(17 ref)(PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)
