Color indicates which group reports higher scores on each defined outcome. Orange = women (w); blue = men (m); yellow = non-binary, diverse (d); gray = no significant difference. Italic outcomes are positively connotated. A yellow/orange cell indicates cases in which non-binary sex or diverse gender reported higher scores, but were excluded in main analyses due to low group size for inference statistical comparison. Please find detailed description of the included studies in Supplementary Table 1.
