The Male Warrior Hypothesis

This hypothesis posits that male cooperation evolved primarily as a strategy for intergroup conflict. Men who formed cohesive groups had a competitive advantage in warfare, leading to increased survival and reproductive success. Such group-based cooperation is deeply ingrained in male psychology.

The Male Warrior Hypothesis: Testosterone-related Cooperation and Aggression in the Context of Intergroup Conflict

Introduction
...

The male warrior hypothesis is a sex-specific proposal primarily supported theoretically by the greater degree of variance among men than among women in terms of reproductive success10,11 and the lower level of obligatory parental investment by men12. These two factors have enhanced intrasexual competition in men, thus favoring sexual dimorphism in size and strength, accompanied by a significant sex-based difference in physical aggressiveness6. In this sense, men have enormous incentives to form coalitions to be involved in intergroup contests because of the benefits associated with winning these contests, even if the costs of losing the contest could be devastating13. Therefore, in contrast to women, men can exacerbate intra-group cooperation14 and intergroup aggression15 in the context of an intergroup threat, the most important factor triggering these behaviors being the incentives to monopolize resources.

A new UC Riverside study asserts that women don’t engage in “tear-down” gossip any more than men, and lower income people don’t gossip more than wealthy people. It also holds younger people are more likely to gossip negatively than their older counterparts.

It’s the first-ever study to dig deep into who gossips the most, what topics they gossip about, and how often people gossip — 52 minutes a day on average.

“There is a surprising dearth of information about who gossips and how, given public interest and opinion on the subject,” said Megan Robbins, an assistant psychology professor who led the study along with Alexander Karan, a graduate student in her lab.

If you’re going to look at gossip like an academic, remove the value judgment we assign to the word. Gossip, in the academic’s view, is not bad. It’s simply talking about someone who isn’t present. That talk could be positive, neutral, or negative.

“With that definition, it would be hard to think of a person who never gossips because that would mean the only time they mention someone is in their presence,” Robbins said. “They could never talk about a celebrity unless the celebrity was present for the conversation; they would only mention any detail about anyone else if they are present.”

“Not only would this be difficult, but it would probably seem strange to people they interact with.”

Summary: Men are less likely than women to share negative information, while both genders share positive news similarly.

The research suggests that men’s concern about perception leads to selective self-promotion. Conducting three experiments with over 1,000 participants, the study delves into gender-specific disclosure patterns in the digital age.

A new study from Carnegie Mellon University, Bayes Business School (formerly Cass), and Bocconi University has found that men are less eager and likely to share negative information than women, while there was little difference when it comes to positive news.

Published in the Journal of Experimental Social Psychology, the authors suggest that this may be due to a greater concern among men over how other people will see them, resulting in a tendency to self-promote by sharing positive information about themselves and not revealing their negative experiences to others.

Dr Erin Carbone, Visiting Assistant Professor in the Department of Social and Decision Sciences at Carnegie Mellon University and first author of the study, said: “The results from our studies revealed a consistent, and to the best of our knowledge not previously identified, nuanced pattern, wherein the tendency for women to disclose more than men depends crucially on the nature of the information shared.

Although men and women generated similar numbers of instances of wanting to share positive information (e.g., about a promotion), men were far less likely to report wanting to share negative information (e.g., a failure to receive a promotion).

Här kommer två nyare studier som visar att män och kvinnor ägnar ungefär samma tid per dag åt skvaller. Hittade en studie som visade att män ägnade sig åt skvaller 76 minuter per dag och kvinnor 52 minuter per dag, tar dock inte med den här.

Abstract
Much research has shown that women are more empathic than men. Yet, women and men are equally forgiving. However, it is not clear whether empathy is more important to forgiveness for men or for women. The purpose of the present study was to examine gender differences in levels of empathy and forgiveness and the extent to which the association of empathy and forgiveness differed by gender. Participants were 127 community residents who completed self-report measures of empathy and forgiveness. The present results showed that women were more empathic than men, but no gender difference for forgiveness was apparent. However, the association between empathy and forgiveness did differ by gender. Empathy was associated with forgiveness in men—but not in women.
