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)
