Abstract

Men and women have been observed to be more different in more gender-equal countries. However, reanalysis of three large-scale cross-cultural datasets does not lend strong support for mean-levels of men or women being systematically associated with gender-equality. Predicting gender gaps should not be approached by predicting univariate or multivariate differences.
