Janet Shibley Hyde is the Helen Thompson Woolley Professor of Psychology and Women's Studies at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. She is known for her research on human sexuality, sex differences, gender development, gender and science, and feminist theory. Published in 2005, The Gender Similarities Hypothesis is a focal point of Hyde's work in the field. In this seminal study, Hyde conducted a series of meta-analyses that documented how similar males and females are on most psychological variables, which contrasted with how different they are often perceived to be.

Hyde received the Ernest R. Hilgard Lifetime Achievement Award presented by the American Psychological Association (APA) in 2016 and the James McKeen Cattell Fellow Award from the Association for Psychological Science in 2018. Previous awards include the Kinsey Award from the Society for the Scientific Study of Sexuality (1992), the Heritage Award from APA Division 35, Psychology of Women (1996), the Carolyn Wood Sherif Award from APA Division 35 (1998) for ''Men are From Earth, Women are From Earth. The Media vs. Science on Psychological Gender Differences'', the APA Award for Distinguished Service to Psychological Science (2008), the Pioneer in the Psychology of Women Award from the Association for Women in Psychology (2009), and the Committee on Women in Psychology Award for Distinguished Leadership (2014).
