The article presents the analysis of gender differences in emotional intelligence (EQ) in adolescence. The hypothesis was based on the assumption that there are gender differences in EQ in adolescence. The research involved 111 15-16 years old students, 57 of whom were girls and 54 of whom were boys. An ascertaining experiment with using such measures as "EmIn" (D.V. Lyusin), method of "Assessment of EQ" (N. Hall) and "Diagnosis of gender identity" (S. Bem modificated by V. A. Labunskaya, M. V. Burakova) were taken as a method. As a result, the hypothesis was confirmed, the leading components of EQ for boys and for girls were brought out, the qualitative description of the structure of EQ was given. The research expants the notion of the specifics and gender differences in EQ in adolescence. The obtained data could be used in the age-psychological counseling, in correctional and developmental work with adolescents, and the recommendations for development of EQ could be formulated.

Summary: Hare's Psychopathy Checklist - Revised (PCL-R; Hare, 1991 ) was originally constructed for use among males in correctional and forensic settings. In this study, the PCL-R protocols of 36 matched pairs of female and male violent offenders were examined with respect to gender differences. The results indicated a few significant differences. By means of discriminant analysis, male Ss were distinguished from their female counterparts through their relatively higher scores on “callous/lack of empathy” (item 8) and “juvenile delinquency” (item 18), whereas the female Ss scored relatively higher on “promiscuous sexual behavior” (item 11). Some sources of bias and possible implications are discussed.

Abstract. The Thematic Apperception Test is one of the most frequently administered apperceptive techniques. Formal scoring systems are helpful in evaluating story responses. TAT stories, made by 20 males and 20 females in the situation of legal divorce proceedings, were coded for detection and comparison of their personal problem solving ability. The evaluating instrument utilized was the Personal Problem Solving System-Revised (PPSS-R) as developed by G. F. Ronan. The results indicate that in relation to card 1, men more often than women saw the cause of the problem as removable. With card 6GF, women were more motivated to resolve the given problem than were men, women had a higher personal control and their stories contained more optimism compared to men’s stories. In relation to card 6BM women, more often than men, used emotions generated from the problem to orient themselves within the problem. With card 13MF, the men’s level of stress was less compared to that of the women, and men were more able to plan within the context of problem-solving. Significant differences in the examined groups were found in those cards which depicted significant gender and parental potentials. The TAT can be used to help identify personality characteristics and gender differences.
