  • Womens and Men’s Brains

    Nov 23, 2019, 9:19 AM Women’s brains are structured to deliver greater attention to empathy and fear (vulnerability), and even more so after puberty (leading to high female mental illness), unless cognitive load provided (children) – the mirror of men, physicality, and competition. Men’s brains are structured to deliver greater attention to physical reality, and competition, and to limit empathy and fear, and even more so after puberty (leading to high male aggression) unless cognitive load provided (competition, sport, hunting, teamwork).

  • Gender Differences in Personality

    —“Personality measures were obtained from a large US sample (N = 10,261) with the 16PF Questionnaire. Multigroup latent variable modeling was used to estimate sex differences on individual personality dimensions, which were then aggregated to yield a multivariate effect size (Mahalanobis D). We found a global effect size D = 2.71, corresponding to an overlap of only 10% between the male and female distributions. Even excluding the factor showing the largest univariate ES, the global effect size was D = 1.71 (24% overlap). These are extremely large differences by psychological standards.”—

  • Wealth Causes Genders to Specialize Not Compromise

    —”Previous research suggested that sex differences in personality traits are larger in prosperous, healthy, and egalitarian cultures in which women have more opportunities equal with those of men. In this article, the authors report cross-cultural findings in which this unintuitive result was replicated across samples from 55 nations (N = 17,637). On responses to the Big Five Inventory, women reported higher levels of neuroticism, extraversion, agreeableness, and conscientiousness than did men across most nations. These findings converge with previous studies in which different Big Five measures and more limited samples of nations were used. Overall, higher levels of human development–including long and healthy life, equal access to knowledge and education, and economic wealth–were the main nation-level predictors of larger sex differences in personality. Changes in men’s personality traits appeared to be the primary cause of sex difference variation across cultures. It is proposed that heightened levels of sexual dimorphism result from personality traits of men and women being less constrained and more able to naturally diverge in developed nations. In less fortunate social and economic conditions, innate personality differences between men and women may be attenuated.”—
