6 stereotypes about men and women, confirmed by science
Ladies, no offense, but men are better at navigating the terrain than you are. Men, do not be offended, but ladies are better than you at coping with several things at the same time. These are not just words — this is confirmed by modern scientific research, says the Telegraph. So don't even bother to argue when you next hear that…
Now scientists also confirm that men are practically devoid of empathy, hate clarifying relationships and simply turn off their hearing when they complain or start "sawing". The only being that a man is able to sincerely empathize with, showing the whole range of emotions — is himself.
Neuropsychiatrist Luanne Brizendine estimated that women utter an average of 20,000 words every day — at least twice as many as the average men. In addition, they have faster speech, more brain cells are involved in conversation, and in childhood, girls begin to speak earlier than boys.
And in girls, the FOXP2 protein is 30% more active, which is even called the "speech gene" for simplicity, because it is responsible for the correct development of speech and language skills.
In 2011, psychologists at the University of California, led by Professor Laura Mix, asked men and women to come up with funny captions to pictures and then sent them to the jury without specifying the authorship. Would you be surprised to learn that all the winning slogans were invented by men?
This is explained at the level of biology: in the human body, isoenzymes are responsible for the breakdown of alcohol, or rather, their special group — dehydrogenases. Most men have enough of them, but women have such enzymes in short supply. Add to this a smaller body weight than men and get an answer why women get drunk faster and tolerate alcohol worse.
At the Norwegian University of Natural and Technical Sciences, an experiment was conducted with the participation of 18 men and 18 women. They had to work their way through a virtual maze, at the same time performing various tasks. Men succeeded by completing 50% more tasks than women.
This was proved in 2010 by psychologists at the University of Hertfordshire. The study participants — 50 boys and 50 girls-had to complete 3 tasks simultaneously for 8 minutes: solve arithmetic problems, find restaurants on the map and make a plan to find a key hidden in an imaginary field. In addition, they were periodically distracted by phone calls, and if they picked up the phone, they received additional questions on general erudition. Some kind of testicle, right?
As a result, the women easily coped with all the tasks, but the men were stuck on the strategic task of finding the key.
In general, the test showed that even when there are a lot of things to do and time is running out, women are able to find a minute to stop and think carefully.
