Abstract
Is there gender bias in Evolutionary Psychology? This paper examines the extent to which men and women present their research in General Psychology and Evolution-Specific Psychology conferences. Evolutionary Psychology appears to conform to the wider scholarly pattern whereby women “hide their light under a bushel,” presenting their work more often as posters and at regional conferences, while men are more likely to be first authors on presentations and to do so at more prestigious conferences.
