研究表明，男性会在压力下会变得更加以自我为中心，他们会很容易把情绪发泄到周围人身上。而女性面对压力，则会变得更加愿意“亲近社会”。 实验参与者被施加了“适度的”压力，比如进行公开演讲或者当面解答数学问题。他们被要求模仿某些动作，或者来描述自己和他人的情绪，或者从他人的视角来判断问题。 研究人员观察到，在这三种情况下，压力都会让男性的表现更糟糕，而女性则相反。 研究人员指出，从心理学角度来说，女性能够和别人进行更好的沟通的时候，就会得到更多的外部支持，她们还会吸收这种经验，为自己所用。 从生理方面来看，这种差异是由于和社会行为相关的催产素引起的。某些研究表明，在充满压力的情况下，女性会比男性产生更多的催产素。 Everyone gets stressed out, but new research suggests that men and women cope with these situations in different ways. According to the study, men become more egocentric and self-centered when stressed. They have trouble separating their own intentions and emotions from those of the people around them. On the other hand, women who are under a lot of stress may become “prosocial.” “There's a subtle boundary between the ability to identify with others and take on their perspective — and therefore be empathic — and the inability to distinguish between self and other, thus acting egocentrically,” study author Dr. Giorgia Silani explained in a release. “To be truly empathic and behave prosocially it's important to maintain the ability to distinguish between self and other, and stress appears to play an important role in this.” |
