В последнее время в исследованиях цветового зрения человека большое внимание уделяется такому биологическому фактору, как половая принадлежность. При этом различия между полами в том, насколько сильно варьируется цветовое зрение, в предыдущих исследованиях изучались редко. В данной статье мы вернулись к нашим предыдущим исследованиям, включающим 7 тестов на цветовое различение и 20 экспериментов по оценке цветовых предпочтений, и обнаружили, что у женщин вариабельность цветового зрения значительно выше, чем у мужчин. Такой результат контрастирует с предыдущими исследованиями в других областях, где часто выдвигалась гипотеза о большей вариабельности у мужчин, что указывает на то, что механизмы гендерных особенностей в отношении вариабельности восприятия могут различаться в зависимости от когнитивных или перцептивных процессов. Таким образом, настоящее исследование показывает, что в будущих исследованиях зрительного восприятия необходимо также учитывать диапазон отклонений от целевого показателя, а не только сам целевой показатель или общую тенденцию. 1.
