The gender differences of mathematics achievement exists in many counties in the world. Some Chinese scholars think that the differences also exist in China. The researchers explain the gender differences of mathematics learning mainly from the individual psychology and education. This paper, firstly, introduces an investigation of the gender differences of mathematics achievement in grade 1-9 in three areas (Hefei urban area, Cuozhen area, and Chenji area) of Hefei in China. The investigation found that the gender differences of mathematics achievement exist but are different in these areas. Then, the results are explained from the theory of the gender socialization.

Purpose: This study aims to investigate how gender-based differences are actually reflected on drug approval. Methods: Data on gender-based differences of drugs were analyzed by searching PDR (Physician's Desk Reference) with the keyword, "GENDER". Results: There were descriptions related to gender in product directions of 361 drugs in 2009 PDR, out of which 63 items actually showed gender-related differences. Drug categories showing comparatively high gender-based differences were nervous system, cardiovascular system, and alimentary tract and metabolism. Pharmacokinetic differences between genders were observed most frequently; compared to men, 32 drugs showed higher absorption while 18 drugs revealed lower clearance in women. There were 2 drugs which gender should be considered before prescribing, and 5 drugs which showed different severity of adverse effects according to gender. Conclusions: It is necessary to establish domestic policies for drug approval and use which reflects gender-based differences through sufficient researches.

This study presents a meta-anlalytic review of 119 studies, published between 1990 and 2009, of gender differences and variables associated with overt and relational aggression during childhood and adolescence. Gender differences in overt aggression were found to be significantly higher in boys than girls, but significant gender differences in relational aggression were not found. Gender differences of only overt aggression are moderated by age and the reporter type. In general, both overt and relational aggression are more strongly related to maladjustment than adjustment. In addition to this, overt and relational aggression has both common and differential associations with relative levels of maladjustment and adjustment. The moderation of these effect sizes of both overt and relational aggression by age and the reporter type was found.

수학에서의 성차는 교수 학습 환경에서 학습자에 대한 공평성을 추구하는 맥락에서 연구자들의 지속적인 관심을 받아 왔다. 수학의 여러 영역 중 특히 기하 영역은 전통적으로 남학생이 여학생에 비해 높은 성취를 보이는 영역으로 인식되어 왔으나, 최근에는 성차가 완화되거나 점차 사라지고 있다는 경험적 증거들이 종종 보고되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 2003년부터 2011년까지 3개 주기 동안 실시된 TIMSS 8학년 수학과 데이터를 활용하여 우리나라 중학생들이 기하 영역의 각 하위 인지요소에서 나타내는 성차를 인지진단모형을 활용하여 고찰하였다. 본 연구에서는 여러 가지 인지진단모형 중 교육 전문가에게 유용하고 해석 가능한 정보를 제공할 수 있는 Fusion 모형을 적용하였다. 연구결과, 기하 영역의 세부 인지요소 중 '입체도형의 모양'에 있어서는 2003년과 2007년 각각 남학생이 여학생에 비해 높은 숙달 확률을 나타내었으나, 2011년에는 전체 인지요소에서 남녀 간에 차이가 없는 것으로 나타나, 성차가 완화되고 있다는 최근 연구들을 지지하는 하나의 경험적 증거를 제공하였다. 이밖에 인지진단모형을 적용하여 성차를 분석한 결과에 따라, 학생들의 인지요소 숙달 프로파일이 남녀 간에 어떠한 차이를 보이는지, 그리고 특정 문항을 푸는데 있어서 반드시 필요하다고 정의된 인지요소들이 성별에 따라 상대적으로 더 혹은 덜 중요하게 기능하는지 등에 대해 고찰하고 이에 근거하여 기하 영역의 교수 학습에 시사점을 제공하였다.

We examined the minimization effects of a subjective sense of poverty by social networks for urban workers and the mediating effects. The purposes of this study are to draw up measures and provide implications in community health care by gender. The findings are as follows: First, differences in understanding a subjective sense of poverty have been generated by demographic socio-economic characteristics according to gender. Second, differences in perception of the subjective sense of poverty have been generated by types of social networks according to the gender. Third, differences in types of social networks have been generated by gender. Fourth, differences in mediating effects of the types of social networks influencing a subjective sense of poverty have been generated by gender. We provide effective methods in community health care by analyzing these examinations.

Sleep is an essential physiological process, especially for proper brain function through the formation of new pathways and processing information and cognition. Therefore, when sleep is insufficient, this can result in pathophysiologic conditions. Sleep deficiency is a risk factor for various conditions, including dementia, diabetes, and obesity. Recent studies have shown that there are differences in the prevalence of sleep disorders between genders. Insomnia, the most common type of sleep disorder, has been reported to have a higher incidence in females than in males. However, sex/gender differences in other sleep disorder subtypes are not thoroughly understood. Currently, increasing evidence suggests that gender issues should be considered important when prescribing medicine. Therefore, an investigation of the gender-dependent differences in sleep disorders is required. In this review, we first describe sex/gender differences not only in the prevalence of sleep disorders by category but in the efficacy of sleep medications. In addition, we summarize sex/gender differences in the impact of sleep disorders on incident dementia. This may help understand gender-dependent pathogenesis of sleep disorders and develop therapeutic strategies in men and women.

본 연구는 수학, 과학 성취에 대한 일반학생과 상위 성취 학생들의 성차여부에 대한 영재담당 교사의 인식을 알아보는 데 목적이 있다. 연구에 참여한 교사들은 초등 영재담당교사 167명과 중등 영재담당교사 122명이다. 교사들은 일반학생과 상위 성취학생의 수학, 과학 성취에 성차가 존재하는지, 왜 그렇게 생각하는지 등에 관한 설문에 참여하였다. 연구에 참여한 교사의 65%는 남녀 학생 간 과학 성취에 성차가 존재한다고 응답하였으며, 성차가 존재한다고 인식한 교사의 63%는 초등 고학년에서 중학생 시기에 성차가 드러난다고 보았다. 상위 성취 학생집단에도 성차가 나타난다고 보는 교사들은 전체의 57%였으며, 성차가 나타난다고 응답한 교사들이 생각하는 성차 발현의 이유로는 선천적 능력의 차이, 사회적 기대, 부모의 양육태도 등이 있었다. 영재담당교사들의 수학, 과학에 대한 학생들의 성취에 대한 성차인식은 교사의 태도에 영향을 주어 남녀학생들의 실제 성취에 영향을 미칠 가능성이 높으므로, 이러한 교사들의 인식과 태도에 대한 제언이 결론으로 제시되었다.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the attitudes of Korean parents on environmental education for their elementary children. To accomplish of this purpose, a questionnaire survey was administered to 231 (55 males, 176 females) parents from elementary school in Seoul and Gyeonggi Province, Korea. The self-reported Environmental Education Attitude Scale was revised and adopted to measure the difference among children's grade, gender, and age of parents. The SPSS 12.0 program was used to analyze the data. The major finding of this study represented that elementary parents have a great understanding about the importance of environmental education. Through the analyses, this study found several things. 1) There were significant differences among grade and age in the necessity of environmental education. However, there were no gender differences in this field. In other words, parents have strong agreement with the necessity of environmental education in childhood. 2) There were significant differences among grade in the effect of environmental education. However, there were no gender and age differences in this area. 3) There were significant differences among grade and gender in proper areas of environmental education according to academic years. However, there was no significant age difference in this questionnaire. 4) There were significant differences among grade, gender, and age group in the level of environmental education. 5) There were significant differences among grade, gender, and age in the subject for environmental education. Further implications and limitations of this study were discussed.

Because of the sex-gender differences that are shown in a diversity of physiological and psychological factors, it can be speculated that the clinical presentation of symptoms as well as treatment strategies in women and men with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) may differ. Studies have revealed that IBS is more common in women than men. As for the IBS subtype, IBS with constipation is significantly more prevalent among women than men. Sex hormones and gender differences may play important roles in the pathophysiology of IBS. However, its pathophysiologic mechanisms still remain largely unknown, and therapeutic implications are limited. Moreover, women IBS patients have been reported to feel more fatigue, depression, anxiety, and lower quality of life than men IBS patients. Furthermore, there has been evidence of differences in the appropriate treatment efficacy to IBS in men and women, although relatively few men are enrolled in most relevant clinical trials. A more sex-gender-oriented approach in the medical care setting could improve understanding of heterogeneous patients suffering from IBS. An individualized and multicomponent approach including sex and gender issues might help improve the treatment of IBS.
