Research Interests

My research focuses on the areas of psychology women and gender, and human sexuality.  One program of research has involved conducting meta-analyses of research on psychological gender differences and other gender-related issues.  Examples include meta-analyses of gender differences in depression and gender differences in mathematics performance.  Early meta-analyses led me to the publication of the Gender Similarities Hypothesis in 2005 (American Psychologist).  Another program of research has been the Wisconsin Study of Families and Work, a longitudinal study that collected data on more than 500 families from pregnancy with a child through the year when the child reached age 20.
