How the wind blows stronger than men, women

Expression test
From the University of Montreal Research Center for Neuropsychology and cognition, a research team of 23 men and 23 women to start testing. Subjects aged 18 to 43 years old, had no history of mental illness or mental illness.

 
To ensure test accuracy, the researchers did not use the photos, but specially invited professional actors to make the expression of fear or disgust, for the test object discrimination. Except with the eye, the test subjects listen to people in need through the re-issued under these two emotions, or watch and listen to distinguish the sound of fear and resentment.

 
The results showed that compared with men, women are superior from that hearing. They make judgments quickly, and higher accuracy.

 
The researchers explained that the selection of only two emotions of fear and resentment, because from the perspective of biological evolution, these two emotions is more important to the survival of the species.
The study is published in the UK "Neuropsychologia" Quarterly Online.

 
Favorable treatment
Since many mental illness a higher incidence in men, so this research can broaden the idea of treating such mental illness.

 
"Research is not intended to prove the merits of gender, just the opposite," the British "Daily Telegraph" of 23 head of 奥利维耶科 Lini Weng quoted as saying, "The results help to further understanding of those sexual orientation of the mental disease because those diseases will have different effects on men and women. "

 
Corley Nyon, said autism is a good example. Previous studies have shown that autism mainly in men, and one of the typical symptoms of autism is not recognized emotions.

 
"Research shows that men in the recognition and expression of emotional feelings are not as women, so this result to some extent coincide with previous research," he said.

 
A variety of factors
Corley said Avignon to explain results, no doubt, innate differences between men and women is one of the important reasons, but "the same cultural and social factors on the formation of men and women in dealing with differences in the expression of emotions and feelings to generate a significant role" .

 
Some evolutionary psychologists also said that the social roles of women often set to take care of others, so they need more insight.

 
They, for example, if the mother to look after infants and young children not to speak, through the clues to be quickly and accurately grasp the infant's emotional ups and downs.

 
In addition, compared to men, women need more certainty, in order to detect danger signals around to keep in place a world of survival of the fittest.
