Question:
A weakness of fight or flight?
Author: (Pippa) Pippa HollowayAnswer:
-The explanation of responding to stress in research suggest that there may sex differences -Eg: Lee and Harley found that males possess the SRY gene (exclusive to Y chromosome) which is thought to promote aggressive behaviour -Significant bc it would suggest men are more likely to have a fight or flight resposne. The absence of this gene in females would suggest that their behaviour is likley to be different when responding to stress -Suggesting that there may not be one genetic human stress reponse and that there are differences between biological sex.
