Running Head: GENDER DIFFERENCES Gender Differences in Short-Term Memory SC-PNG-0000009299 Alwin Aanand Thomson American Degree Program SEGi College Penang Abstract Females have a stronger short-term memory than males. To test short-term memory, I created an experiment in which the subject would be asked to recall a list of ten terms. On average, females remembered a greater percentage of the terms than males. Women were more likely to come up with a creative way to remember the terms, revealing a better ability to adapt and respond to uncertainty. Men are often hired over women, and men make more money than women.
* Laumann debated that finding and conveying sexual relationships requires sources as time, money and social capital but why do this if it is better for individuals to discuss about their emotional and physical needs instead of switching partners which cost more. Critical portion The author gives lot of factual components on how the sex strategy changed over the last 50 years. When he explains the group formation of these different groups; Married, dating, cohabiting I am inclined to believe in his argument. It’s a common fact that I witnessed in my daily life that married couples have better chance of being in a long term relationship than those who are single or cohabiting and are afraid of committing. Response Overall, I liked this article.
Whereas grand fathers are far less likely to invest because not only might they not be the father of their son but their son might not be the father of the new offspring. Child rearing for women comes at a high expense. They have to care for the child for a minimum of nine months and then they are relied up on by the child after the birth for demands such as breast feeding. Therefore females not only make the greater parental contribution but also the largest postnatal contribution. Random mating is therefore so much more costly for women compared to men.
This displays his change of view, where he realized that time with his wife was more important than work. He thought that if he had died then that he would’ve wasted his life working and not with his wife. Secondly, a similar theme is seen in the article “Double Daddy” by Penny Parker. Ryan Streeter, a researcher at Hudson Institute in Indianapolis said, “[…] there needs to be workplace flexibility for men, but in general, corporations have the expectation for men to put business over family”. (1) This is true, men should have the privilege of being able to be with their family whenever it is necessary.
As a result, women seek health care in much greater proportion than men. Men, on the other hand, traditionally shy away from the health-care system, and we are only now starting to understand why that is. Men tend to view partners and friends as primary health sources. When they do reach a physician, men tend to focus more on physical problems, and are less likely to discuss deeper emotional issues -- particularly if the physician is female. Perhaps most influential are perceptions around male masculinity.
Before the age of twenty one the brain is still developing and shouldn’t be destroyed with alcohol beverages. Early drinking can lead to early deaths; but some people become drinkers at an early age because of their social culture, not knowing it increase health and government laws. Lowering the national drinking age to eighteen is not a good idea. It’s too many bad side effects, such as lower percent of high school graduates. Therefore there will be more unsuccessful people in the world.
Moreover as both heterosexual and homosexual men age they tend to look for younger partners and concentrate on physical attractiveness rather than financial status. Waynforth and Dunbar's research aswell as Kenrick et al's are subject to a lack of generalisability as this type of self-advertisement is typically western and both pieces of research were done either on small sample sizes or to a restricted areas such as New York. The psychical attractiveness of potential partners can indicate healthy genes that can be passed on the next generation, in short-term relationships males 'lower their standards' in terms of physical attractiveness as a way of having a larger selection of females to have short-term relations with and then males show a decreased level of attraction to females which allows them to move on and continue to spread their genes. The notion short-term relationships only benefit males is an effect of gender bias as Greiling and Buss suggest that females also profit as they can switch easily to a more suitable and successful mate. Waynforth (2005) found that in short-term relationships males with prominent masculine features such as a squared jaw and symmetrical faces were preferred as symmetrical faces can indicate a strong immune system and therefore healthy genes, asymmetrical facial features can indicate abnormal genes and therefore are less desirable in short-term
Typically, junior or senior year of college the stress levels peak because individuals are reaching close to the actual adulthood and beginning of a career where supportive measures can be useful. Assigned mentors would be more of a formal mentoring, which would cause bias in the results, since mentoring can be informal or formal. Many may view this study as formal since the duration is the independent variable, but, as stated previously formal mentoring is more focused on career development. Finally, first time mentees to prohibit comparison of other mentoring
For example men are on average taller and heavier than women, men have more hair on their body than women, and men are considerably stronger than women. Whereas, women are a lot more sensitive to sound, fertility decrease’s after the age of thirty five, and reaches puberty about two years ahead of men. However, the real difference in men and women are socially defined in societies. Women have continued the challenge men on almost every front which resulted in a number of modern nations granting men and women equal rights. However, politically and economically men have sustain their dominance.
Society is the answer. Young men like myself tend to prefer the company of older women who have life experience, instead of the company of girls their own age or some silly, young giggling girl. I think a big problem with this is that women have a problem with being judged on a social level. They worry about what their mom or dad would think, and what their friends would say about them. They are afraid of a less mature guy embarrassing them.
