Abstract

Despite the increasing importance of the ability-level differentiation hypothesis, no study has been conducted to clarify the role played by sex regarding this issue. A battery of cognitive tests was administered to a sample of 10,247 participants (6,068 males and 4,179 females). Results show a differentiation effect in males (around 2%) but not in females. Therefore, the ability-level differentiation hypothesis is substantiated for males only.
