      Gender equal countries aggravate sex differences in personality to an even larger degree than previously thought, making this one of the best replicated findings in psychology. https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1002/ijop.12529 …pic.twitter.com/4wFEeP3rEd

      if you consider this to be one of the best replicated findings in psych you must have a really low opinion of the field

      It already has a handful of successful replications with high numbers of participants. Given the trend from the reproducibility crisis in the field, this should count as high.

      Decent number of participants is necessary but not sufficient: this research consists of comparing English speakers across countries. I'm with @epopppp; this isn't very convincinghttps://orgtheory.wordpress.com/2017/12/20/biology-and-gender-differences-in-personality/ …

      Another large-scale international study confirms: Sex differences in personality are marked and even increase in countries with greater gender equality. https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Tim_Kaiser/publication/326606965_Gender_equality_and_sex_differences_in_personality_evidence_from_a_large_multi-national_sample/links/5b589179458515c4b244a186/Gender-equality-and-sex-differences-in-personality-evidence-from-a-large-multi-national-sample.pdf … pic.twitter.com/XHsQcOE3WX

      The same trend also emerged for traits not related to (foreign) language abilities, for even physical traits like height and blood pressure:https://twitter.com/DegenRolf/status/943127442281164800 …

      Even skimming the Schmitt et al paper you linked, your summary seems at best misleading, as they note many exceptions. As for your summary of the Charles and Bradley findings…I invite people to look and see for themselves if they think it's accurate.pic.twitter.com/oIOSOjEu1G

      And trying to track down all the sources on the physical stuff like blood pressure just gets to the dead end of Schmitt's ISDP2 manuscript that still seems to be unpublished (or maybe hard to find)

      The paper by Schmitt that cites the sex differences in physiological traits is eays to find:https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-319-09384-0_11 …

          Cites them, sure. All from one citation, the Schmitt manuscript that is supposed to document the data etc used to come the conclusions. That's what's difficult to find.

          Thanks for the suggestion. I think you allude to the paper below. I won't let this sit. I'll try to get the manuscript and will tell you what I find.pic.twitter.com/l4bdLhPObe
