According to Shelly Taylor and her colleagues, why is the behavioral tendency toward affiliation stronger in females than males?
What will be an ideal response?
Indeed, men are behaviorally more likely to fight or flee when threatened; however, they argue that women are more likely to affiliate—to seek out others in order to form groups for joint protection. Fight-or-flight behaviors for women, they contend, are not adaptive to survival of the species when women are responsible for carrying a child in pregnancy and later nursing and tending to the child when the child is most vulnerable. They note that it is safer for the protection of her offspring for a pregnant woman or a woman with a child to seek protection in groups than to fight or flee when confronted with a threat (e.g., a predator). Thus, they contend, this behavioral tendency toward affiliation is stronger in females than males.
