Women also tend to be more communicative and take greater interest in peripheral information. Men on the other hand usually have greater focus but often have difficulty multitasking. It is also what sometimes keeps them from staying on subject. This is what gives women the greater ability to multitask. Men on the other hand use only one hemisphere of the brain at a time. Generally speaking, the difference is this… women use both hemispheres of the brain at the same time. Through this evolutionary process the brain function of men and women has evolved differently as well.
Men and women are simply wired differently. They, however, usually find it more difficult to focus on one thing without interjecting peripheral or unrelated subjects. Women on the other hand can cook dinner, balance the checkbook, watch the kids, and talk on the phone at the same time. We generally do not do as well working with multiple tasks simultaneously. We tend to stay focused and on track (most of the time). It would be foolish to assume that modern pop-culture could suddenly erase what evolved naturally over hundreds of thousands of years.Īnyone who is married knows what I’m talking about… Men and women do process information differently! For most men, give us one thing at a time to do and we’ll do it well. Through necessity women acquired a greater ability to multitask. Women on the other hand gathered food and other materials for the home, watched the children, and cooked and cared for the immediate needs of the family. This necessitated having the ability to remain very focused and directed.
Through centuries of evolution, men acquired the ability to focus intensely on one objective while women developed the complementary ability of multitasking. This is equally true of our psychological development as a species. Nature has given men and women their unique physical differences to assure the continuation of the human race. The idea that male/female, behavior is primarily a result of socialization is usually a prospective advocated by people who have a particular political and social agenda they wish to promote. To attribute these vast differences to socialization alone (or for that matter even in great part) is pure nonsense.
Irrespective of the “pop-psychology” of the last few decades where some therapists and researchers would have you believe that most male/female differences are primarily acquired through socialization, the fact is that there are social, biological, and evolutionary reasons why men and women process information differently.
