Abstract
This research essay reviews various past studies and research papers to address whether men and women are psychologically different across four psychological fields of study, namely, neurobiology, intelligence, emotion, and mental disorders. The paper concludes that there are significant differences between men and women in these four areas. However, instead of showing which sex is better than the other, the studies and research suggest that women and men actually develop different advantages in different areas based on their various biological mechanisms (nature) and developmental patterns (nurture). This research essay is carried out with the aim that people could view these two sexes fairly and thus be more driven to the pursuit and even the achievement of gender equality in every aspect of society around the globe.
