Do you think women are elusive? In fact, boys are more difficult to deal with! Australian study: Men's decision-making is more erratic
There are great differences in behavior and thinking patterns between men and women. Long-standing research has shown that men think more linearly and are good at studying a single material, while women think in a network-like manner, are easy to draw inferences from one instance, and have a strong ability to integrate; And this also gives us the stereotype that men are dull and dull, and women are fickle. Now, according to a study from Australia, when individuals make decisions or deal with interpersonal relationships, it is not women who like to change, but men! And why do men behave this way?
Men’s tendency to make extreme decisions is related to the need to compete for same-sex partners
The University of Sydney in Australia recently published a study involving 97 samples and data on 50,000 subjects. In the first analysis, the research team used the life experiences of 8,123 subjects to cross-reference with 23 social dilemma studies; in the second analysis, the data from 13,985 subjects were cross-referenced with 23 citizenship behavior studies. Comparison.
After two analyses, the research team concluded that men are more polarized than women when making decisions. For example, in terms of personality or behavior, they are either particularly selfish or generous, they do not trust the other party wholeheartedly, or they are particularly suspicious. To be very adventurous is to be very cautious and so on. Associate Professor at the University of Sydney Business School Stephen. Stefan Volk believes that this extreme behavior in men may be related to the innate need to compete with same-sex partners: men need to stand out among the same sex and attract the opposite sex to reproduce, so they may be inclined to make extreme decisions; women You only need to maintain the same level as the same sex, so women are more inclined to teamwork.
Walker went on to mention that taking buying stocks as an example, men are always more willing than women to make “big bets” on money. When they think, they only think about “winning money” without considering the consequences. Of course, the result is often either getting rich overnight or ending up in ruins. In other words, men make these extreme decisions to create an image that is different from ordinary people and to gain public attention.
Men who love to show off but are not good at handling emotions need to be careful about mental illness
We often say “a woman’s heart is like a needle in the sea” to describe women’s unpredictable thoughts, but we didn’t expect that men’s thoughts often change too! According to a large-scale global study, men more often think of themselves as “lonely”, and it is a shame for them to admit that they are alone, which also makes men prefer to hide their true emotions. stand up. If men suppress their emotions since childhood and do not express them through appropriate means, they are likely to suffer from cardiovascular disease, high blood pressure and other mental illnesses as adults.

It is mentioned above that women are better at teamwork than men. Perhaps this is what men can learn from women. Sometimes there is really no need to let yourself hang in an emotional island for the sake of face; communicate appropriately with family and friends and seek their support. Helping is also a sign of a real man. Doing everything by yourself does not mean you are “manly”. Especially during the current epidemic, both men and women should be under considerable pressure. If you cannot adjust emotionally, please be sure to seek help. Don’t let face issues sow the seeds of mental illness in the future.
