Smart women face intense environmental variable

One study noted that women may be unintentionally a tension between the perceived taste, and tensions just to improve their thinking and resolution.

 
The United States, an assistant professor at Rice University scientists led by Dennis Chen, a recent collection of seven volunteers - 4 men and 3 woman sweat to do research, the method is to watch movies at the same time, under his arm in their a gauze pad. Let them watch horror movies, remove the gauze pad after reading, then put on new pads look normal movie, after reading it off.
The researchers also found 68 women, so they divided into 3 groups, to smell the gauze pad. The first group heard after watching the horror movie collection to the gauze pad. The second group heard the film after watching an ordinary gauze pads left. The third group heard no sweat gauze pad. At the same time, so that they do a kind of intellectual games, such as viewing the written word consecutive slides, and say the next two slides if there are any links, such as arms and legs linked to the arm and wind-free links .

 
It was found that slow down the speed of the question in the absence of the premise, watching horror movies smell of sweat collected after the female cushion the accuracy of answers than the other two groups was high. As a result, Dennis believes that the tension will make people's working efficiency improved. "Fear makes awareness, identifying information will be more acute. However, this recognition is in the case of unconsciously done, in response, people are unconscious."

 
Another earlier findings also show that women can comfortably cope with tension. By a group of German scholars of the college students experienced intense memory tests found that the performance of men and women cope with stress differently. Blood cortisol (a hormone produced by stress, the more intense the higher the content description) men with higher levels of memory performance than poor men with low tension, but this difference does not exist in women. Therefore, the ability of young women cope with stress than young men strong, and they are in a tense atmosphere, the impact on thinking small.
