The aim of this study is to investigate whether there are structural differences between psychological spaces of men and women under the simplest possible model of analysis of these differences, i.e. based on comparing configurations of vectors of cognitive and conative functions. On a sample of 2664 participants (1332 males and 1332 females) aged 18 years who were described by three tests of the efficiency of cognitive processors, six tests of disorders of conative regulators, four tests of disorders of socialization process, a factor of the intensity of manifest aberrant behavior and academic achievement, structural differences between the sexes were analyzed using the methods of least squares, (maximum likelihood). These and many numerically smaller but still significant differences in the configurations of the analyzed variables show that it is almost absolutely certain that male and female participants of this age live in different psychological spaces, which is confirmed by the results of previously conducted analyses of structural differences in cognitive and conative spaces between men and women.
