Results of recent research suggest that longitudinal influences on sex differences in verbal and spatial abilities, and delinquent behavior, may be similar. The present study examined biological, environmental, and psychological variables collected from birth through age 17 on a sample of subjects who participated in the Philadelphia Collaborative Perinatal Project (CPP). Findings supported in part past research suggesting that environmental relationships with intellectual ability and delinquency are strongest for males, whereas biological relationships are somewhat more important for females. Socioeconomic factors were among the strongest predictors of delinquency for both sexes, however. In turn, biological and environmental influences on verbal and spatial abilities and their relationships with later achievement were different between the sexes. Results are discussed in terms of possible sex differences in the development of the left and right cerebral hemispheres, as well as in the vulnerability to environmental influences.
近期研究结果表明，纵向影响言语和空间能力方面的性别差异以及犯罪行为的因素可能是相似的。本研究调查了从出生到17岁期间收集的生物、环境和心理变量，这些变量来自参与费城围产期合作项目（CPP）的一组研究对象。研究结果部分支持了过去的研究，即环境与智力能力及犯罪行为的关系对男性来说最为显著，而生物因素对女性更为重要。然而，社会经济因素是两性犯罪行为最强的预测因素之一。反过来，生物和环境因素对言语和空间能力的影响以及它们与后期成就的关系在两性之间存在差异。我们将根据左右脑半球发育中可能存在的性别差异以及对环境影响的易感性来讨论这些结果。
