Women are kinder and more generous than men, study finds.

The battle of the sexes has returned with resurgent force as new research reveals that women are prone to be kinder and more generous than men.

Male and female brains react differently to “prosocial” (selfless) and selfish behaviour, scientists at the University of Zurich found.

When a woman exhibits some form of kindness, it triggers a greater reward signal than it does in men, whose reward system is stimulated more by selfish behaviour.

The brain’s reward system, known as the stratium, administers dopamine when triggered and therefore influences what motivates us to do certain things on the basis that they will make us feel good.

Essentially, this means that women are most incentivised by kindness whereas men are mostly incentivised by self-serving thoughts.

Researchers conducted a series of behavioural experiments on 56 men and women which probed participants to make “prosocial” decisions, many of them revolving around the basis of sharing money.

Neuroscientists then analysed which areas of the brain were activated and found vast discrepancies between what stimulates the stratium in men and women.

In a further experiment, scientists administered medication to participants that prevented the release of dopamine and subsequently rendered the stratium dormant.

Interestingly, on this occasion the women behaved more selfishly whereas men exhibited more “prosocial” traits such as generosity and helpfulness.

This surprised lead author Alexander Soutschek.

“These results demonstrate that the brains of women and men also process generosity differently at the pharmacological level.”

However, he noted that further studies would be necessary in order to “take into account gender differences more seriously.”

He also added that while these discrepancies are apparent at a biological level, they are not necessarily inherent and could be derived from various social and environmental factors.

“The reward and learning systems in our brains work in close cooperation,” Soutschek said.

“Empirical studies show that girls are rewarded with praise for 'prosocial' behaviour, implying that their reward systems learn to expect a reward for helping behaviour instead of selfish behaviour.

“With this in mind, the gender differences that we observed in our studies could best be attributed to the different cultural expectations placed on men and women.”

Don’t worry guys, women can be selfish too.

If that were true and totally static then all those loving single Dads wouldn't exist , even Present Dads ...Oxytocin trumps background brain chemistry traits . Ask all those fiercely protective parents if they would give up their lives for others and you'd probably find that they are equally likely to say Yes.

we can alter brain chem just by our thoughts ...

I think you are a perfect example of how female can be nurtured to be alpha male.

I learnt from Guru ji and life that there is very little difference between the ultimate man and woman  it is all equal playing field ...Guru ji wants us all to be alphas

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
