Sex differences and the own-gender bias in face recognition: A meta-analytic review (2013, background): “Women are better at recognizing, discriminating between, and interpreting facial expressions (Hall, 1978), and this difference is already apparent in infancy (McClure, 2000).”
A female advantage in the recognition of emotional facial expressions: test of an evolutionary hypothesis (2006, methodology): “A metaanalysis by McClure (2000) found a smaller but statistically significant female advantage among children and adolescents.”
“I Know How You Feel”: Preschoolers’ emotion knowledge contributes to early school success (2015, background): “Girls often, but not always, have an advantage in emotion knowledge (McClure, 2000).”
Cognitive Styles of Music Listening (2008, background): “By contrast, females were found more successful in tasks that require emotion recognition (McClure, 2000), social sensitivity (Baron-Cohen, O’Riordan, Jones, Stone, & Plaisted, 1999) and verbal fluency (Hyde & Linn, 1988).”
The Trouble with Boys: Social Influences and the Gender Gap in Disruptive Behavior. NBER Working Paper No. 17541. (2011, background): “…been linked to slower maturation of parts of the temporal cortex, but also lower empathy levels, higher disinhibition and lower quality of social relationships (see for example Baron-Cohen, 2002, 2003; Geary, 1998, 2002; Keenan and Shaw, 1997; McClure, 2000; Knickmeyer et al, 2005; Maccoby, 1998).”
Revisiting gender differences: What we know and what lies ahead☆ (2015, background): “Females' advantage in correctly decoding facial emotions occurs for both positive and negative emotions (Hampson et al., 2006), stimuli of extremely short durations (Hall & Matsumoto, 2004), among children (McClure, 2000), and it extends to memory for new faces.”
Infants' responsiveness to maternal speech and singing (2004, background): “Gender was included as a factor because of claims of greater social interest on the part of infant girls (e.g.,McClure, 2000) and more parental talk to infant girls than to boys (e.g.,Kitamura et al., 2002).”
Ostracism in everyday life. (2012, background): “Meta-analyses have found that female individuals are more accurate at decoding nonverbal communication than are male individuals, regardless of various moderating factors (Hall, 1978; McClure, 2000).”
Sex differences in direct aggression: What are the psychological mediators? (2006, background): “Females are more accurate than males in decoding facial expressions in infancy2, d = -.25, childhood and adolescence, d = -.13 and adulthood, d = - .32 (Hall, 1978, 1984; McClure, 2000).”
Empathy, gender, and prosocial behavior (2020, methodology): “…men as measured by: self-reported questionnaires (Baron-Cohen & Wheelwright, 2004; Davis, 1980, 1994), reading faces or motor cues of others (Hall, 1978; McClure, 2000), reading eyes (Baron-Cohen et al. 1997, 2001; Kirkland et al. 2013), and in some studies of empathic accuracy (Ickes et al. 2000).”
