The Implications of Sex Differences on Volunteer Preferences

Abstract  

This study explores the relationship between sex differences and preferences for volunteer roles, organizations, and supervision.
A series of hypotheses were developed from prior research on sex differences from the fields of biology, neuroscience, and
psychology to determine whether such preferences can be predicted. An online survey panel of over 700 individuals comprised
the sample. Many of the hypotheses were supported. Implications of the findings on future research and on volunteer recruitment
and retention are discussed.
