Accepted Answer

Evolutionary explanations of gender differences tend to focus on biological factors and processes that are thought to have shaped behaviors over thousands of years.

This criticism suggests that evolutionary explanations may not fully account for the complexity and variability of gender differences across different cultures and historical periods.

Evolutionary psychology suggests that men display their physical attributes, such as abs and assets, as a way of signaling their ability to provide external resources and physical protection for a potential mate. This is based on the theory of sexual selection, where individuals with desirable traits are more likely to attract a mate and pass on their genes to future generations.

Accepted Answer

Research on physiological and subjective responses to sexual stimuli has shown that men and women are more similar than different in their patterns of arousal. Although there may be some differences in the types of stimuli that elicit arousal, overall both genders experience increases in heart rate, blood pressure, and genital arousal in response to sexual stimuli. Additionally, subjective reports of arousal have been found to be similar between men and women.

Question 19

According to evolutionary psychologists,sex differences in behaviors relevant to mating and reproduction exist because

Accepted Answer

Evolutionary psychologists argue that sex differences in mating behaviors exist because women typically invest more in pregnancy, childbirth, and child-rearing than men do. Therefore, women are more selective about potential mates, seeking partners who can provide resources and support for themselves and any future offspring. Men, on the other hand, can potentially father many offspring with little investment, so they are more likely to pursue a greater number of sexual partners. This ultimately leads to differences in mating behavior between men and women.

Question 20

Both men and women desire _____ in their relationships.

Accepted Answer

Research shows that both men and women prioritize kindness, love, and emotional connection in their relationships rather than superficial traits like youth or beauty. While some may argue that men prioritize resources and protection, studies indicate that these traits are not universally desirable and vary based on cultural and societal norms.
