Beyond our origin: Adding social context to an explanation of sex differences in emotion expression
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 14 October 2009
Abstract
Vigil's socio-relational framework of sex differences in emotional expressiveness emphasizes general sex differences in emotional responding, but largely ignores the social context in which emotions are expressed. There is much empirical evidence showing that sex differences in emotion displays are flexible and a function of specific social roles and demands, rather than a reflection of evolutionary-based social adjustments.
