The Factorial Structure of Self-Reported Androgen-Promoted Physiological Traits (Report‪)‬

1. INTRODUCTION A recent literature review provided evidence that the sexes differ in a mired of ways, ranging from easy-tomeasure traits (e.g., birth weights and adult body size) to many complex characteristics (e.g., susceptibility to numerous diseases, detailed biochemistry, neurology, perceptual sensitivities, motor coordination, and even many cognitive and behavioral patterns) [1]. This evidence raises questions about how sex differences are produced. Although the details are still far from fully understood, numerous studies have implicated bodily exposure to androgens as primarily responsible for sex differences in traits [2-5].
