SUMMARY:Evolutionary perspectives on sex differences in behaviour  - Dr Gi
 llian Brown\, University of St Andrews
DTSTART:20141014T120000Z

CONTACT:Rebecca Noorderhaven
DESCRIPTION:Debates surrounding sex differences in behaviour often focus o
 n dichotomies\, such as ‘nature versus nurture’\, ‘sex versus gender
 ’ and ‘biology versus culture’. In this talk\, I aim to challenge th
 ese dichotomous views of sex differences and attempt to provide an integra
 tive\, evolutionary perspective that incorporates the roles of socialisati
 on and culture. Novel meta-analytic and experimental data will be presente
 d on sex differences in mating strategies\, sensation-seeking and conformi
 ty. I will argue that developing a more integrated perspective on sex diff
 erences in human behaviour and cognition has real-world implications\, for
  example in enhancing our understanding of sex differences in susceptibili
 ty to mental health disorders.
