The purpose of the study was to test the hypothesis that women display more complex emotional
knowledge than men. Male and female participants from five different samples completed the
Levels of Emotional Awareness Scale, which is an emotion-based performance task in which
respondents generate verbal description of anticipated feelings of their own and those of another
person. Results showed that women consistently displayed more complexity and differentiation in
their articulations of emotional experiences than men, even when the effect of verbal intelligence
was controlled. The findings suggest that a sex difference in emotional awareness is a stable,
highly generalizable effect.
