Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Eagly (1987) and Wood (1987) found that women tend to be higher in relational interdependence, meaning they place a greater emphasis on connections with others and are therefore more motivated to contribute to group efforts. Men, on the other hand, tend to be socialized to value individual achievement and may be more likely to engage in social loafing as a result.
