For a reminder check out the news here.
I asked my readers to send me the words they made out of the following:
B E _ A _ E
L O _ A L
L O _ A L
Below are my findings by gender and word.
Unfortunately I only got 7 responses and they were all male, but it's still interesting.
2 guys said: BEHAVE and LOCAL
2 guys said: BECAME and LOCAL
2 guys said: BEWARE and LOCAL
1 guy said: BEHAVE and LOYAL
Now to finish the news story:
Women came up with BEWARE and men BECAME
Women came up with LOYAL and men LOCAL
The situation of an attractive alternative implicity brings to mind threat and commitment to women. Women seem to have a stronger internal voice.
Women seem to think "If tempted, then defend". The researchers tried to teach this thinking to men.
Half were coached, the other half weren't.
Then they were presented with computer temptations:virtual reality hussies urging them to come hither.
75 percent of the uncoached men went through the virtual door of temptation.
Only 38 percent of the trained men succumbed.
