Soluções para a tarefa
Resposta:
A) In numerous studies females score higher than males in standard tests of emotion recognition, social sensitivity and empathy. Neuroimaging studies have investigated these findings further and discovered that females utilise more areas of the brain containing mirror neurons than males when they process emotions.
B)Women show relatively stronger emotional expressivity, whereas men have stronger emotional experiences with angry and positive stimuli. The self-report results are identical to those reported in several previous studies. ... Women in the present study reported higher arousal compared with men on most emotion types.
C) A similar study of college undergrads published in the journal Memory, revealed women remembered events more accurately after a week than men, because of the same encoding techniques. Even later in life, our memory reigns supreme.
