Sex Differences in Trait Associations & Shapes: Analysis beyond Average

该项目旨在通过采用不同的方法(文献计量学、系统测绘)和开发新的荟萃分析方法，找出并解决目前性别差异研究中的知识差距。这个项目希望通过(元)分析特征的形状和特征之间的联系，产生一个比目前所欣赏的更全面、更完整的性别差异观点。该项目的预期成果包括将性别差异领域提高到一个新的水平，创造新的和强大的荟萃分析方法，为研究综合开辟新的途径。这应该会通过指导相关领域的未来研究并激发跨学科的新型(元)分析来提供显著的好处。

This project aims to identify and address current knowledge gaps in research on sex differences by employing different methodologies (bibliometrics, systematic mapping) and developing novel methods of meta-analysis. This project expects to generate a more holistic and complete view of sex differences than currently appreciated, by (meta-)analyzing the shapes of traits and associations between traits. Expected outcomes of the project include taking the field of sex differences to the next level, and creating new and powerful meta-analytic methods, opening new avenues for research synthesis. This should provide significant benefits by directing future research in related fields and inspiring new kinds of (meta-)analyses across disciplines.
