https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sex_differences_in_humans
"Because social and environmental factors affect brain activity and behavior, where differences are found, it can be difficult for researchers to assess whether or not the differences are innate. Studies on this topic explore the possibility of social influences on how both sexes perform in cognitive and behavioral tests. Stereotypes about differences between men and women have been shown to affect a person's behavior (this is called stereotype threat)."
The sources cited are in this Wikipedia quotation are as follows:
A science journal titled "Global Sex Differences in Test Score Variability", both available digitally and in print written by Stephen Machin, Tuomas Pekkarinen;
http://science.sciencemag.org/content/322/5906/1331.summary
And a book,
"Sex Differences in Mental Test Scores, Variability, and Numbers of High-Scoring Individuals" by Larry V. Hedges & Amy Nowell
The two authors of the science magazine are both economists with some internet prevalence. Larry V. Hedges is a "researcher in statistical methods for meta-analysis and evaluation of education policy. He is Professor of Statistics and Education and Social Policy, Institute for Policy Research, Northwestern University."
However, I found next to no information on Amy Nowell from a basic Google search.
