Page 176 lists three circumstances in which we tend to find large gender differences in social and personality characteristics.

Describe what these factors would predict about gender comparisons in the following situations:

(a) a male professor and a female professor who have similar status are discussing a professional article they have both read;

(b) a group of male and female students are asked to talk about the nurturing support that they have given to a younger sibling;

(c) a lecture hall is filled with people, and the Powerpoint system is not working. The speaker asks for volunteers to figure out the problem. Who will help?
