Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Cross-cultural studies on emotional expression do not show a consistent difference between males and females. Therefore, option A, B, and C are incorrect. In fact, research suggests that some cultures, such as those in East Asia, may value emotional restraint and suppress emotional expression more than Western cultures (option E is incorrect). As there is no evidence to suggest that either sex is more emotionally expressive overall, the best answer is D - neither sex is more emotionally expressive overall.
