German University Studies Ultimate Battle of the Sexes Debate

Posted: Jan, 02 2010

According to a new study, women take longer to park their vehicles,but for all their extra time sizing up their parking spots, it doesn'tresult in better parking accuracy.

Okay, I admit: I'm walking into some pretty tall grass, here. But,when I found out that the PhD in charge of the study was a woman, itmade me feel better somehow. Dr. Claudia Wolf, thank you for yourhonesty.

Dr. Wolf's study, conducted through her employer, Germany's RuhrUniversity, noted that men were quicker to get their car in the parkingspot and generally more aligned with the parking lines. She was quotedas saying that the results confirmed previous studies that men haveshown superiority with spatial awareness and coordination.

The actual study sounds pretty interesting. Around five dozen menand women were given an Audi A6 sedan to park in a space in Germany(where, on average, the spaces a slightly smaller than they are in theU.S.) from three different approaches: parallel parking, head-on andreverse.

The results were timed and rated for accuracy. When the resultscame in, they showed women take about 20 seconds more time to parktheir vehicle but are less likely to be accurate as a result.

Dr. Wolf told the UK's Daily Telegraph that the results are aboutparking, not a definitive end-all statement about the superiority ofone sex over another.

"It is not as if there was a massive failing by women," Dr. Wolftold The Telegraph. "It is just about parking - not the triumph of menover women."
