> "Women tended to be more prosocial and less negatively reciprocal than men, with differences in standard deviations of 0.106 for altruism (P < 0.0001), 0.064 for trust (P < 0.0001), 0.055 for positive reciprocity (P < 0.0001), and 0.129 for negative reciprocity (P < 0.0001). Turning to nonsocial preferences, women were less risk-taking by 0.168 standard deviations (P < 0.0001) and less patient by 0.050 standard deviations (P < 0.0001) (26). The observed differences in preferences set the stage for our analysis."[0]

For example: Preferring to not be an extreme minority leads to extreme segregation, since local attempts to resolve the problem make it globally worse: https://www.wired.com/2014/12/empzeal-parable-polygons/ https://www.wired.com/2014/12/empzeal-parable-polygons/ https://ncase.me/polygons/ https://ncase.me/polygons/
