Which article are you evaluating?
Sex differences in psychology

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I have chosen this article because of the fact that in class today and last week both of the studies were looking at the differences of male and females on prenatal factors. Gender psychology can play a big role in the understanding of prenatal factors that can affect a child parent relationship.

Evaluate the article
The lead section does quickly and accurately describe why sex difference's in psychology and what factors genders may differentiate in. There is an acceptable amount of information that doesn't feel overwhelming to a reader.

The definition section is quite brief which is expected, however the history section is quite long and only really focused on older research on gender psychology. The content is not focusing on research after 1974, which with the psychology filed rapidly expanding may be leaving out some of the history of how gender psychology may have evolved. The article than went on to explain in which ways that males and females do differ.

The article does in fact remain neutral through even describing the stereotypical differences that can be found in some studies between men and women.There is a neutral tone that accompanies a vast amount of topics of gender psychology.

This article uses a large amount of references with a total number of 127 articles. The references come from books and journals from different fields of psychology such ad developmental and evolutionary just to  name a few.

There are no pictures or images that can help understand gender psychology. There ought to be so that the topics can be better understood.

In the talk page discussion there is mention an discussion of David Reimer a child in the 60's that was reassigned a gender at birth following an botched circumsision and how the child was than raised as a female. The discussion fouces on how their should have been more about David Reimer in the gender reassignment section as the section acoording to the contribution lacks information.

Overall I enjoyed the article, it was very informative. I however think that gender psychology should also include aspects of gender non conforming folks and their experience or even transgender folks as a part of gender psychology wiki page.
