Question 68 • RYLE25 - PSYCHOLOGY - FULL CREDIT

Some psychologists argue that men are more likely to take risks than females because ___________.

Answer
A
fewer men are necessary to sustain population growth in a society
B
more men generally have elevated levels of testosterone and serotonin
C
fewer men have a well-developed frontal lobe, which helps control impulses
D
more men have discovered that risky behavior is actually quite safe

Explanation

One evolutionary explanation is that a population can continue growing with fewer men than women, because one man can father children with multiple women. This may make risk-taking more likely to pay off for men in terms of reproductive success. The correct choice is “fewer men are necessary to sustain population growth in a society.”
