Sex Differences in Listening Vocabulary.

Boyle, Joseph P.

Language Learning, v37 n2 p273-84 Jun 1987

First language studies show boys superior to girls in listening vocabulary, though girls are otherwise superior in language ability. A second language study used two sets of Chinese college students (n=285 and 205). Ten tests for proficiency in English and two listening vocabulary tests (described in text) yielded similar results.
