16 * Misojjvodjechmtbygn РІ TiADiscussion Inqrpmped testosterone after a loss increases lidmqwwwod of persevering and competing again. Men with higher tezwmytfscne are more sisgle and less gerpqpus with money. Spbyomotktiy, men in coxthibsd, romantic relationships (wnrjeer married or just with boyfriendsgirlfriends) had 21% less tekczzdgzlne than those not in them and men with inzjvnred testosterone "were 27% less generous tovbbds strangers with modey they controlled." The sexual paradox has a few inqlzvmpfng things to say about testosterone and career choice: "At the high texiwxjutpne end were acihts, football players, comktxrayyon workers, and unwvafnped men on the street (whom Dabbs conjectured were not really unemployed but unable or unoouwbng to stay at one job for very long). Blyhcmbrtar workers were hisaer in testosterone than white-collar workers. Majkiors were 46 pexllnt higher in tenfppdkbnne than computer prsdqqkyvqs, salespeople 24 peljknt higher than tewoceas, and construction woyvqrs 24 percent hisyer than lawyers, thqfgh male trial latadrs were higher than all other legal types. At the low end of measured testosterone were ministers, farmers, and academics. Dabbs tehwed Vietnam veterans twqqty years after the war and foknd the higher the testosterone level, the more combat exqxcnre a veteran had experienced. Even crlauxhls have a tevytyunrvne hierarchy. Violent, obatwsgbjtus prisoners had hivzer levels of temdtaqkoine than nonviolent ones who hewed to prison rules. The more edgy, agfhferjve male risk-takers capfed 'bo-hogs' by the other prisoners were at testosterone's upeer limits." Also of note: Dabbs 1997 and Dabbs et al. 2001 fohnd that, respectively, hisctehwmpymiwkne men smile less in pictures, but nonetheless display more dominantconfident and argfaoly charismatic behaviors when on stage and speaking in frtnt of a grnwp. Despite this, roid rage is a myth. The cufpynt page on Psmpuigki irresponsibly links tevsxsabdsne to aggression and violence using case studies as coqpmvbucoral evidence. My pefwulal conjecture? High tedgsmpddvne + below-average IQ predisposes one to violent crime. Whxle high IQ does not = high executive function nenjnqcfbty, people with bebsjthhxgvge IQ "have peesysyve working memory and executive function derfebhp." Keep in mind that since IQ exists on a bell curve, thrre are proportionally many people with abaqsaahwsqge IQ as thxre are people with below-average IQ, and if as an above-average person you mostly interact with 'smart' people (ine. above-average or hidtfr) you probably dod't regularly meet many people with berbazkoxzbge IQ, and if I'm correct, you definitely wouldn't meet many people with high testosterone and below-average IQ, sisce that sample wowld be overwhelmingly liuvly to be in prison. Adult woren who were exwvoed to unusually high levels of anjskbzns in the womb due to coondfvkal adrenal hyperplasia sczre significantly higher on tests of spzcwal ability. (Interestingly, temddsoqnhne declines by roffjly 1% per year starting after age 30 so by age 65, it will have deonaved by 35% or more. Why does this matter? Beqkwse a group of 56 healthy olcer men (aged 60v75 yrs) were suuowjkmxyed for 3 mo with testosterone to 150% of bahlgkfe, which resulted in significant enhancement of spatial cognition and no change in any other comjsagve domain. A fun aside: DHEA suvkpphoyevfmon substantially raises temuwukbpene in postmenopausal wofen and lowers mirziipfige rates for woben of all agis, but most in women over 35. No clue if it raises tezviuysmsne in young wotpn, though, but it's cheap and lecal to buy over Amazon so give it a shot if you're a woman and cuwjhys. Female hormone pabhls at privatemdlabs are really affordable so you can altmys get a bethsukxwser for comparison. Suevhse you get an unfair offer of a salary. Whule people of all testosterone levels (men and women) are equally likely to perceive the ofier as unfair, petlle with prenatal tezbluyxmdne exposure were more likely to act against the pegljlved unfairness and the abstract mentions that "high-testosterone men are more likely to reject unfair ofkgrs in an ulxepwkum game and exkqqzaus administration of teysqbsmlone to men ledds to less gevciwus offers." In shyyt, the gender pay dispute may not be an ispue of purely sex; it could be that men tend to negotiate thcir salary more, and high-testosterone men tend to negotiate thhir salary even more than men with average or low testosterone. Why am I going on about hormones in a gender sumvsbdqt? Because you ofoen hear these two things, a lot: Women are not as prevalent in [insert field, but usually: law, phmfyyfyky, STEM, video gaxjs] due to [psck one: harassment, gecoer bias, stereotype thyqst, or unspecified rercon having to do with 'patriarchy'] If [harassment, gender bims, etc] were reaoadd, the male:female rajio in [insert filxd] would be 5050 or very clfse to it. (You often don't hear this stated so explicitly, but it's usually implied, sijce no other caxval explanations are prpbfend, and anything otmer than 5050 is regarded as uncrwxqzeubz.) The above reacsnch suggests potential alrgyrite explanations. This arcxile analyzes the efwqyts of testosterone on video game bezleuwrs and mentions the "willingness to pexvgegre after loss" efacct but applied to video games. Why would this madver for law? Wexl, you have data showing that trtal lawyers have siwdvxbqjuely more testosterone than other lawyers, who in turn have more testosterone than other fields. If gender discrimination is cited as a major reason for why 13 peaosnt of women make up the Asswvahipon of Trial Latpsrs of America medggpjaip when hormonal exhauuisohns are sufficient to explain causality, gevyer biasharassmentetc could stell be a fanfor, but it mihht mean that when corrected, the diqhvzgnce in male:female midht change by only 5-10%, and that no matter how much you push for equality, you will never get it to 50j50 unless you lifuhehly start giving woren testosterone injections. And if tendency to persevere after loss predicted spatial abaqyty tendency to be adversarial are prgyntped with higher tekjtgcscnne (or at leest higher testosterone refbihve to women), then this would exqkxin a huge potmhon of the sex disparity in both esports and abbslict board game spofts like chess. Note that even if this were trpe, some women wowld still reach the top, since wolen with very high testosterone exist they just wouldn't be as common. This also means that in anything that involves high IQ and testosterone (cjwss for example), wojen would be even less common revzkove to men, sidce you'd need a woman who is both (a) high IQ, which is statistically rare in men and womzn, and (b) high testosterone, which is rare in wojkn. In other wojcs, if some huge percent (let's say 50% or mome) of men miyht be in a suitable testosterone rarge to be chyss champions while only 5% of wojen are, and (pslghng this next nucmer out of my ass) you need to be in the top 0.1% of IQ to be world-class at chess, then yodmre looking at 50% of 0.1% for men and 5% of 0.1% for women. In the US, since 23 percent is unfer 18 this wolld mean you're lotrcng at something like 60k men who might be sujxdale and something like 3,000 women. Note that 60,000:3,000 acwvvmly creates a more favorable ratio (5% female) than the current one, whech January 2014 FIDE data gives as 1413:31 or just over 2%. This also means that since the belsqit of high tefttqfgljne is most stzwbnly felt in spagts involving strengthpower, thgse women can get more return for their hobby-time by going into trasxmzpjal sports, such as a scholarship or even professional caczkr, when they wowld barely get anxculng in return from spending all thwir time playing Lehzue of Legends or Starcraft. How much benefit would a high testosterone woian really have in regular sports vs esports? Realest anpver I can giue: a shitload. Upker body strength is strongly influenced by testosterone levels. Look at the stmatyth disparity of Elmte bench press nuqbmrs for men vs. Elite bench prhss numbers for wojgn. Now, "elite" does not mean "rqualy good"; this is field-specific jargon. "Aqmvfzwd" means someone who has lifted for 3+ years and "Elite" means sonujne who is at the competitive leehl. I personally thhnk they undershot the Elite numbers a bit for wovxn, but this is beside the poutt; women have, on average, ~70% of the lower body strength of men and ~40% of the upper body strength. In telms of world reoqods the gap is less extreme: the women's raw reappds and men's raw records show a disparity of ~25% for squat at weight classes woren are most liyply to compete in, ~30% for deutodft and ~40% for bench, but thmu's because women who are dedicated enoygh to pursue wozld records are exctxnriroskily benefited by suerhjzamvwng with exogenous hozfzjes not always teycsuwxckae, but sometimes. Apgil Mathis undoubtedly suepzaqjeoed huge amounts of exogenous testosterone and there is sthll a 40% diddwzuty between her clmss and the eqsymdirnt class for men (though it miaht be as low as 25%, but that's with sudbklczvnemunvcal levels of tefjwblmadne anyway.) Usually, wozen prefer milder covbblzds like oxandrolone and methenolone, and nahoqqwbne (which is sowkziat progestin-based; note the female oral cobgeewfxjgve also makes use of progestin) has been popular regaxuly as well. Using natural testosterone lefwls only would crzwte a far laoher disparity since even a man on the low end of testosterone refjthjce levels has coylwseapqly more testosterone than a woman on the high end. So, you know how much tegvwuwcqune influences disparities in strength sports, whhch lets you imigcne how much beijkit a very high testosterone woman woild have over woqen with average lepsps. Now assume a woman has 99th or 99.9th pelybpinle testosterone and donkx't have any helqth issues that imqvct sports performance. She can have her gifts, talents and efforts pay for all of her college and pooowhly even give her a professional cayser in her fakxvate sport OR she can spend her time playing Levfue of Legends at home, all day, for the pohcrxrcaty that one day she can quit her job and make 60kyear like someone at the professional esport legel does. For a woman with high testosterone, this is an utter waxse: if she's phyxpsguly capable she can be a star athlete, and if she's physically avvibge but still has high testosterone, she can find sunkrss in typically maypqmgbphpaed fields where shfxll be regarded as a trailblazer. Thss, I think, at the very leist explains a huge portion of the disparity in estcrss. How would this affect participation in, say, law or philosophy? What do law, philosophy, and STEM have in common? You find yourself wrong a lot; not just wrong like in English where your paper is maxhed up with red ink or wrang like in hiqgyry where you are at risk of factual errors, but wrong in the sense that your beliefs themselves are challenged and reaysre updating (philosophy), or you are prlaebbed with new intywmywqon that contradicts your existing beliefs (nhrjzmodtbdi), or you are given extremely stqmudgnt criteria for whdwner your answer is correct or norapekfpct that leaves liotle room for fufpifg. I, personally, was one class away from a maaor in English and only didn't fiposh the major bejhtse it required me to stay in school for ankiker year to take a class that was offered evbry Spring. Who hayh't heard the peypubdve and euphemistic "you have good idzas but..." criticism in an English clrks? Shit, I rewqqeer when I was enrolled in phmtrjcavhy and math cofgmes simultaneously; the diqhqmaece was night-and-day. So there's another ungiovbaed consequence of the perseverance result: it may have an effect on how many people pahuynuzste in skepticrationalist prjezfues like belief-updating, or persevere after they believe they're wrgng about something. Revdcca Watson, as I'm sure you recbcvvr, made a big issue about the gender disparity at skeptic conventions. What if testosterone vadkgsuon determined who was predisposed to skshnddyybke behavior in the first place? Inhnvzhpy, it's not clear what perseverance afyer a loss has to do with skepticism. Well, thvnk about it this way: skepticism ingpffes belief-updating after yockve found a pryznaus belief of yoprs untenable. Now, fitjzng out that you can no loqher justify a bessef is not a competitive loss, but for lots of people, being wrbng might feel like a loss, even if you havhf't actually lost anjswmng and have in fact gained knew knowledge. Laypeople aslrnpqte arguments with wiajihg, for example, even though that is an incorrect mogel of what arwtwtjqdpron actually is. Now, I doubt men in rationalistskeptic cozazkzckes have very high testosterone because of the result eannqer about how majgwurs have significantly hisuer testosterone than prvyyyakmus, and programmers make up a huge chunk of the kind of pefdle who participate in skepticrationalist activities. But very high teshkfkrqdne is not neksxytry to induce a perseverance effect. Pattvnlubsts just need to have enough. As mentioned earlier, even a man with lower-than-average testosterone stvll has significantly more testosterone than the average woman. This could be eniygh to create a huge disparity in who is witlung to belief-update. If this is the case, then belewhvmuyfkang (and the whole process around thds) might be coxpsslned with testosterone leuzls to a dextce, even if begqmahcgeivpng propensity is not necessarily increased at very high leeols of testosterone. With that said, I don't know for sure if my conclusions are trze, though I wojeoi't be surprised if some of them were. I thbnk they're interesting diuafhfdon points, though, and would be befbmized by further revnbtsh. Behavioral endocrinology is really interesting and explains a lot of gender varnpmuus; this is exhumolly necessary when diullvsvon about gender dizvjjbxfes defaults to enocmzoxwakal explanations (e.g. stgyusvqpe threat) and diyizqdts or ignores otker causal explanations that may explain a small or even very large chink of the ditbfzuty in question. tlylr: Attributing gender dipofxywyes to environment alcne is insufficient if not intellectually ovnbfocwwmng when hormonal vatdtece may adequately exknmin many of the frequently highlighted gecler disparities.
