Abstract
The present review and analysis of data from 384 undergraduate university students indicate that while gender does influence IQ scores, the effect is minimal. This comprehensive overview of existing research highlights the nuanced relationship between gender and IQ, considering various theories, methodologies, and demographic groups. The findings suggest that gender-related differences in IQ are not substantial, which has important implications for education, psychology, and social policy. Further research is needed to explore the underlying factors contributing to these minor differences and to inform strategies that promote educational and psychological equity across genders.
