It's evolution: Nature of prejudice, aggression different for men and women

It's evolution: Nature of prejudice, aggression different for men and women | Science News | Scoop.it
Prejudice is linked to aggression for men and fear for women, suggests new research led by Michigan State University scholars.
Quek Ee Pin's curator insight, June 26, 2013 6:26 AM

I can see from this article that prejudice is different from men and women. Men relate prejudice with anger while women relate it to fear. This explains how people make their decisions and also why they react it certain ways. It also explains that why in history, many things happen because of how men and women apply prejudice. I wonder why is prejudice different in men and women.

Expensive egos: Narcissism has a higher health cost for men

Expensive egos: Narcissism has a higher health cost for men | Science News | Scoop.it
The personality trait narcissism may have an especially negative effect on the health of men, according to a recent study published in PLoS ONE.
Savannah Powell's curator insight, March 25, 2014 2:32 AM

I was very surprised that only highly narcissistic males (as opposed to females) experienced the dramatic rise in cortisol.  I wasn't surprised that they had a higher level of cortisol since many are very stressed and may run to anger, but I found it interesting that this wasn't happening in the extremely narcissistic females.

Why Men Need To Cheat - The Huffington Post

Why Men Need To Cheat - The Huffington Post | Science News | Scoop.it

Monogamy is failing men.
Not only is it failing them, but it's a "socially compelled sexual incarceration" that can lead to a life of anger and contempt, or so says Eric Anderson, an American sociologist at England's University of Winchester and author of the provocative new book, The Monogamy Gap: Men, Love, and the Reality of Cheating (Oxford University Press, $49.99).
Cheating, however, serves men pretty well. An undiscovered affair allows them to keep their relationship and emotional intimacy, and even if they're busted it's a lot easier than admitting that they wanted to screw someone else in the first place, he writes.

All It Takes is a Smile (For Some Guys)… - Association for Psychological Science

Does she or doesn’t she . . .? Sexual cues are ambiguous, and confounding. We—especially men—often read them wrong. A new study hypothesizes that the men who get it wrong might be the ones that evolution has favored. “There are tons of studies showing that men think women are interested when they’re not,” says Williams College psychologist Carin Perilloux, who conducted the research with Judith A. Easton and David M. Buss of University of Texas at Austin. “Ours is the first to systematically examine individual differences.” The findings will appear in an upcoming issue of Psychological Science, a journal published by the Association for Psychological Science.

The secret to sexual success for men? Misreading whether women are interested – and having a thick skin - Association for Psychological Science

Lotharios who ‘misread the signals’ from women and assume they are more attractive than they are – and there are lots – should just be in for repeated embarasssments, you might think.
But researchers now think that men who misjudge what women think of them are actually at an advantage in the mating game – as long as they keep trying.

Men's honest overconfidence may lead to male domination in the C-suite

Men's honest overconfidence may lead to male domination in the C-suite | Science News | Scoop.it

The study discovers how the differences in the way men and women think of themselves and react to incentives may be creating gender differences that lead to leadership gaps, rather than the gap being caused solely by discrimination in the selection process. Specifically men's tendency to exhibit natural overconfidence in their past performances may attribute to the lack of greater female representation in upper management and executive positions.
