“…In an old binocular rivalry study, a relatively cultural bias-free technique, it has been found that males reported more violent scenes than females (Moore, 1966). As will be outlined in the next section, this enhanced sensitivity to threat in males, may be mediated by testosterone.…”

a b s t r a c tInterest in sex-related differences in psychological functioning has again come to the foreground with new findings about their possible functional basis in the brain. Sex differences may be one way how evolution has capitalized on the capacity of homologous brain regions to process social information between men and women differently. This paper focuses specifically on the effects of emotional valence, sex of the observed and sex of the observer on regional brain activations. We also discuss the effects of and interactions between environment, hormones, genes and structural differences of the brain in the context of differential brain activity patterns between men and women following exposure to seen expressions of emotion and in this context we outline a number of methodological considerations for future research. Importantly, results show that although women are better at recognizing emotions and express themselves more easily, men show greater responses to threatening cues (dominant, violent or aggressive) and this may reflect different behavioral response tendencies between men and women as well as evolutionary effects. We conclude that sex differences must not be ignored in affective research and more specifically in affective neuroscience.

“…Thus, if violence is related to self-schemas for a hostile world, violent individuals would be expected to perceive, relative to nonviolent individuals, more violent cues during binocular rivalry tasks. Moore (1966) speculated that males and older students would be more vigilant in their perception of violent cues because of cultural influences that socialize males to act more violently and to accept more violence than females. Indeed, Moore found that males reported significantly more violent scenes than females at all age levels during binocular rivalry tasks.…”

Fifty federally incarcerated males completed a self-report measure of impulsivity called the I Questionnaire. Offender self-schemas for a hostile world were measured with responses to questions about hypothetical social situations and with perceptions of weapons during a binocular rivalry task. Multiple regression analysis indicated that 31% of the variance in violent criminal history and 48% of the variance in psychopathy, as measured with the Psychopathy Checklist–Revised, could be accounted for by combinations of impulsivity and self-schemas for a hostile world. It was concluded that persistently violent males and males with traits of psychopathy impulsively react to attributions that others are threatening them.

“…Human females, for example, tend not to notice or retain details of aggressive interactions between adult males to the extent that males do (see e.g. Maccoby & Wilson 1957;Kagan & Moss 1962;Bandura 1965;Moore 1966).…”

Twenty juvenile members of known genealogies in two baboon groups were studied over a 16month period to evaluate a number of predictions about juvenile spacing behaviour based on the natural history of savannah baboons. Young juveniles (1-2.5 years old) approached more frequently and spent more time in proximity to other group members than did old juveniles (3-5.5 years old). In particular, young juveniles associated more closely with their mothers, particular adult males (possible fathers) and age-peers than did old juveniles. Approaches of young juveniles towards unrelated, high-ranking adults were more likely to occur during feeding than were those of old juveniles. Also, following such an approach, young juveniles were more likely than old juveniles to begin feeding immediately. The overall rates of feeding of old juveniles were depressed when they were in proximity to unrelated, high-ranking adults, whereas the feeding rates of young juveniles were not. Juvenile males approached adult males more often than did juvenile females. Juvenile females approached unrelated adult females more often than did juvenile males. Sex differences also existed in juveniles' choices of unrelated adult female neighbours. Juvenile females associated most often with lactating females, whereas juvenile males associated primarily with cycling females. During group resting, juvenile females approached adult females from higherranking matrilines more often than they approached adult females from lower-ranking matrilines. Juvenile males did not exhibit this attraction. Also, among old juveniles, females associated closely with their mothers, whereas males did not. Taken together, the results support the hypotheses that juvenile baboons associate with group members in ways that (1) enhance the probability of surviving an early period of high mortality, (2) create opportunities for social learning of sex-typical behaviours/skills, and, for females, (3) facilitate acquisition of familial dominance status.
