Okay, well this is my assignment:

"Describe one experiment of your own design to demonstrate a basic difference in male/female aptitude or ability. Clearly describe what you are testing , how you would test, what you expect to find, and what control(s) you would use."

And I need help thinking of an experiment, and here's some examples of experiments that were in the film

They enclosed a barrier between a child and a mother, the girl cries for help and tries to get people to help her push it down, and the boy tries to push it down by himself, which shows that boys are more..strong, or think they're strong?

And another one was that they put an 8-year-old girl alone on a busy street, and many women asked if she was okay, but no men did, and that proves that women are more caring.

They asked kids who often rode bikes to draw them, and the boys` pictures had a lot more detail while the girls` didn't, which proves that boys pay attention to the detail and are interested in mechanical things.

..Yeah, so I just need help thinking of an experiment. pinch.gif

Oh and here are some of the differences:

Males
Better at parking
better at directions
quick to recognize moving objecs
don't really show emotion
encouraged to find how things work

females
more caring, sympathetic
show more empathic behavior
quick to recognize family
bettwer at seing detail, texture, etc...
more emotional
encouraged to find how people work
better at language and communication

if any guys had stopped and asked the 8 year old girl if she needed help, he'd be arrested as a sex offender.

i mean, when you see a man talking to your daughter on the street when she's lost... what will you think?

anyways:
for your project.

get a console game (racing game)

get a bunch of guys and girls together. have food and cokes and stuff.

get them to do one at a time, a very hard racing course with the exact same settings.

collect thier times. tell them that's what you're collecting.

however, you don't really obserb that person. you do collect times, but obserb everyone else in the room.

record that for when a girl or guy is on the game, whether the girls and guys watching are like "you can do it" or "you suck"

record the number of girls and guys that say each. etc.
