Abstract
Decision-making often involves weighing personal judgment against advice, a dynamic encapsulated by the Weight of Advice (WOA) measure. This paper examines gender differences in WOA through a meta-analysis of 134 studies (n = 29,829). A random-effects model found that women take more advice than men, but the effect was small (Hedge’s g = .103) and heterogeneous (I²=54%). A meta-analytic path model showed that (a) the gender-advice relationship was partly explained by overconfidence; (b) women’s post-advice estimates are slightly more accurate than men’s due to taking more advice. Primary data revealed that gender differences are driven by the number of men who completely ignore the advice.
