EYE-SIGHT MODALITY

The research of new-born children showed the absence of gender differences. Neither new-born girls nor boys do not prefer either visual or hearing stimuli as well as the other different visual irritants

The only difference was revealed by Fridman and his colleagues (Maccoby, Jacklin, 1978 )

bravely master something usual.

• have a brighter reaction to a new object

• quicker adapt to small squares

Girls:

Boys:

adapt to big ones.

• men in any age bravely master something new

• dominate in the size defining

ACOUSTIC MODALITY

Girls

Boys

In infancy more actively react to music, various social and unsocial stimuli

In infancy react only to a sound.

In pre-school and the beginning of a school period better differentiate sounds

better determine non-verbal sounds, including those issued by different animals.

an increased emotional sensibility of women explains their more irritability in the attitude to the outside sounds in town, at work, at home.

The data about later research are contained in the book by E. Maccoby and K. Jacklin.

TACTILE MODALITY

In case with tactile modality there are a few researches which can be divided in 2 groups

devoted to tactile feeling

to tactile perception

Tactile feelings are mainly studied with the new-born (only one research was devoted to babies in the age of 3,5 months).

Girls’ domination by tactile sensitiveness

a brighter moving reaction to the disappearance of touch

among girls the more developed tactile feelings were shown by those who had breast feeding

a higher perceptibility to the touch of an air stream directed at the belly

a higher sensitiveness to the electric current

Boys do not dominate until they grow up, and girls better determine a smooth surface at the age of 5 and 8, and since 7 until 9 years old they demonstrate a better interaction between visual and tactile analyzing ability during length determining.

SOCIAL PERCEPTION

Having analyzed the reactions of girls and boys to social and unsocial stimuli in the first year of life (11 researches), E. Maccoby and K. Jacklin (1978) make a conclusion that these reactions do not mainly differ

show a brighter reaction to the cry of another new-born (they also cry).

babies longer fix their look on men’s faces

at the age of 6 months longer look at the faces

boys choose visual stimuli

Boys - Girls

girls – hearing stimuli

boys demonstrate research reaction

the girls demonstrate communicative and emotional ones

men better read maps

women reаd faces

Thus, the results show different perceptive abilities of women and men, and we should not take one of them as a standard – women can successfully recognize faces even if they do it differently than men.

GENDER PREJUDICE

Russian scientist A.F. Koni (1913) investigated the witness testimonies of men and women and revealed the differences.

pay more attention to all connected with technique (the brand of the car presented at the place of accident, its color, details)

Boys:

women can describe in detail clothes and jewelry (color, the cut etc.), criminals

Girls:

Foreign authors watching the witness’ observation got the following results (Lindholm, 1999)

women yield to men as witness in all substantial positions

Stern:

women were more reliable witnesses than men

M. Boret:

Men and women:

can accurately memorize and describe the details of the things and events connected with their own gender.

This is one more evidence of stereotypes not always supported in strict scientific research, and we sometimes can see a phenomenon called “reversible gender stereotype” (when men or women behave not as a society wants them to, but in the opposite).
