Анализировались половые различия по математическим способностям, которые оценивались по результатам выполнения математического теста единого государственного экзамена. Выборка исследования включает 11577 пар близнецов, которые сдавали экзамен в 2010, 2011 и 2012 гг. Выборка репрезентативна популяции близнецов соответствующего возраста, проживающих на территории России. Для определения половых различий оценивались различия средних, дисперсий, величина эффекта d (разница в средних баллах мальчиков и девочек, деленная на усредненное по группам мальчиков и девочек стандартное отклонение). Основные результаты состоят в следующем. Девочки в среднем хуже выполняли математический тест, чем мальчики, однако различия между группами невелики и достигают уровня значимости только в одной возрастной когорте (у тех, кто сдавал экзамен в 2011 г.). Величина эффекта d для трех возрастных когорт равна 0,027, 0,078, 0,028, то есть пренебрежимо мала. Дисперсия в группе мальчиков больше, чем в группе девочек. По показателю математических способностей получены значимые различия между девочками из дизиготных разнополых пар и девочками из монои дизиготных однополых пар, что подтверждает предположение о влиянии пренатального тестостерона на формирование математических способностей.
