| ‘An investigation into
the influence of gender on perceived intelligence.’ Prior to settling on the Title of this, or any other investigation, you would of course have done an extensive literature search to find out as much as possible about your topic. Here you would have researched into gender, self-image, perception, and intelligence, and looked at for example: Hogan, H. (1978). IQ self-estimates of males and females. Journal of Social Psychology, 106, 137-138. In doing so you will have discovered that Hogan (1978) reports on eleven different studies, which all made use of American college students. In some studies, participants were asked to estimate their own IQs, while in others, they were also asked to estimate their parents' IQs, and yet in others, the IQs of males and females in general. Compared to the males, the females underestimated their IQ scores (50% of the time significantly so), and nearly all believed their fathers had higher IQs than their mothers. This hopefully would have prompted you to delve even deeper into the topic, and as a consequence you could also have read: Furnham, A., (2000) Parents' estimates of their own and their children's multiple intelligences. British Journal of Developmental Psychology, 18, 583-594. And even Furnham, A., & Rawles, R. (1995). Sex differences in the estimation of intelligence. Journal of Social Behaviour and Personality, 10, 741-745. On the next page the reader should see your Contents page.
