Keynote
Abstract Dr. Emily Keener will present evidence suggesting men and women are more similar than different. In contrast to mainstream conceptions of gender suggesting men and women are vastly different, considerable empirical evidence suggests that men and women are actually more similar than they are different. Using data examining the role of gender in the peer conflict-management process, Dr. Keener will present strategies for moving beyond an overemphasis on gender differences to a more balanced approach where gender similarities are examined (e.g., via moderation) and where gender differences are explained (e.g., via mediation). Negative consequences of emphasizing gender differences will be highlighted.(1) 1Emily Keener, Personal Communication, March 2012 |
