Research shows that the emotional differences between men and women lies in how they react too and perceive emotions as opposed to whether men actually experience emotions or not. A recent study of over 55 cultures found that women can be more emotional, outgoing, diligent, and agreeable than their male counterparts. The study found that women are much better than men at reading other people?s emotional reactions whether it be verbally or visually. That does not mean that men are incapable of doing such, women are just better at it. In a similar study, researchers noted that women experienced love and anger much more intensely than men. In addition to that, it has been found that most differences between males and females may be a result of cultural stereotypes.

2/21/12 6:22 PM The Psychoanalytic Perspective 1:What was Freud?s view of personality and its development? Sigmund Freud?s treatment of emotional disorders led him to believe that they spring from unconscious dynamics, which he sought to analyze through free association and dreams. He referred to his theory and techniques as psychoanalysis. He saw personality as composed of pleasure-seeking psychic impulses (the id), a reality-oriented executive (the ego), and an internalized set of ideals (the superego). He believed that children develop through psychosexual stages, and that failure to resolve conflicts associated with a particular stage may result in fixation at that stage. 2:How did Freud think people defended themselves against anxiety?

Human Development Prenatal Development and the Newborn 1: How does life develop before birth? Developmental psychologists study physical, mental, and social changes throughout the life span. The life cycle begins at conception, when one sperm cell unites with an egg to form a zygote. Attached to the uterine wall, the developing embryo?s body organs begin to form and function. By 9 weeks, the fetus is recognizably human. Teratogens are potentially harmful agents that can pass through the placental screen and harm the developing embryo or fetus, as happens with fetal alcohol syndrome. 2: What are some newborn abilities, and how do researchers explore infants? mental abilities?
