Confidence Key to Women Doing Well at Spatial Tasks
Research from scientists from the University of Warwick reveals a women’s level of confidence plays a key role in their ability to perform spatial tasks. Dr. Zachary Estes explains:
Our research suggests that by making a woman feel better about herself, she’ll become better at spatial tasks – which in the real world means tasks such as parking the car or reading a map. So a little bit of confidence-boosting may go a long way when it comes to reversing the car into a tight parking spot.
The full study, Confidence Mediates the Sex Difference in Mental Rotation Performance can be found in the journal Archives of Sexual Behavior.
