Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The preferred term used to describe average differences between males and females is “sex differences” as it refers to the biological and physiological differences between the two sexes. “Gender differences” may also be used, but it includes social and cultural aspects in addition to biological differences, which can be confusing. “Gender identity” refers to an individual’s own sense of their gender, and “sexuality” refers to an individual’s sexual orientation and preferences, which are unrelated to average differences between males and females.
