RE: OPINION #1: Where Humanistic Theory Falls Short

in #psychology7 years ago

I will get back to you after reading your scientific paper. Without reading any of the scientific paper, I wonder how many of the differences are farmed by "societal norms" and how many are a result of genetic differences. I further wonder about how much human experience in societies "gender roles" has shifted our genetics over time. How much artificial selection can humans inadvertently incur upon their genetics over a few thousand years of consistent gender roles?

These are just my preliminary thoughts and questions!

Sort:  

"From an evolutionary perspective, large differences in personality between the sexes make perfect sense. Divergent sexual selection pressures on men and women are expected to produce substantial differences in personality traits that influence mating and reproductive strategies. For example, sexual promiscuity is predicted by extraversion, openness to experience, neuroticism (especially in women), positive schizotypy, and the ''dark triad'' traits (i.e., narcissism, psychopathy, and Machiavellianism). Negative predictors of promiscuity and short- term mating include agreeableness, conscientiousness, honesty, and autistic-like traits. Relationship instability is associated with extraversion, neuroticism, low agreeableness, and low conscientiousness. In addition to their direct influences on predispositions for sexual promiscuity and relationship instability or sexual monogamy and parental investment, personality traits may also influence competitive tendencies such as status-seeking and risk-taking."

This will be futile online. We should discuss in school later today
