Costas Z Costa Psy 300 Mrs. Vicky Tinsley March 26, 2002 Internet/Library Assignment I chose to do my assignment on the topic of gender differences. I found the topic to be very interesting and I wanted to know more about the area. My article, and I found a load of them, is specialized on a study that was made in New Zealand with the aim of examining gender differences among a sample of forty males and females 15 …showed first 75 words of 371 total…

…showed last 75 words of 371 total…females on most of the dimensions measured. The mean male score for Total Self –Concept (52.10) was higher that the mean female score (49.50). The small size and single site of the research limit the degree to which the results should be generalized to other contexts. In conclusion the disappearance of gifted females is very complex and requires more investigation. The results sure indicate that gender differences do occur in some New Zealand gifted adolescences.
