  ABSTRACT: The effect of gender on the use of cognitive structuring (CS) is examined in three studies (n = 356). Study 1 showed that Israeli men use less diagnostic information (display more confirmation bias) than Israeli women. Study 2 demonstrated that Polish adolescent male but not female were influenced by implicit cues in a judgment task a Study 3 showed that the correlation between trait anxiety and the state anxiety measures, in first degree relatives of patients in a cardiac intensive care unit in Israel, was significantly higher for Israeli men than for women. According to the findings of the three studies, women use cognitive structuring to a lesser degree than men do.
