Conclusion What a piece of work is a man! How noble in reason! How infinite in faculty! In form and moving how express and admirable! In action how like an angel! In apprehension how like a God! The beauty of the world, the paragon of animals15. William Shakespeare, Hamlet
The aim of the research conducted was to evaluate the relationship between gender socialization and the level of the illusion of explanatory depth. For this purpose, the author defined the pillars of gender socialization and the phenomena of the illusion of explanatory depth. The author conducted an empirical study to test the hypothesis: males suffer from the illusion of explanatory depth more than females; the difference between real knowledge and how a person accesses it is more prominent in males’ answers than in those by females. The survey was conducted among four groups belonging to one social group to prevent the bias of the study. As a result of the work, more than 60 literature sources were analysed to deepen the understanding of the broad concept of gender and the phenomenon of the illusion of explanatory depth. After the experimental work, that is, an empirical study, had been conducted, the hypothesis was not rejected. This research aimed to identify the illusion of explanatory depth from the perspective of gender socialization. Based on the quantitative and qualitative analysis, it can be concluded that there is a correlation between gender and the level of the illusion of explanatory depth. The results indicate that females suffer from the phenomenon of the illusion of knowledge less than males. At the same time, it should be highlighted Shakespeare, W., 2018. Hamlet. Oxford: Oxford University Press, pp. 18–22.
