The document discusses gender differences in the brain, emotional intelligence, and their effects. It notes that females tend to have more white matter while males have more grey matter. Females also rely more on their right hemisphere and tend to communicate more to build bonds, while males communicate more to gain knowledge. Stereotypes about gender differences in fields like STEM can negatively impact women's performance through stereotype threat. The document provides references to studies on these topics.

2. Factors Stereotypes The Brain Emotional Intelligence

3. Stereotypes Stereotype Threat STEM fields

4. Stereotype Threat Math and science Gender neutral tests vs. gender compared tests

5. STEM Fields Push for more females Increasingly difficult to keep females

6. The Brain White and grey matter Size and development Hemispheres

7. White and Grey Matter Females – white matter Males – grey matter

9. Hemispheres Males – left hemisphere Females – right -> both hemispheres More females in the work force Men begin to open emotionally Source: Slowmuse

10. Emotional Intelligence Communication Expression

11. Communication Females communicate to create bonds Males communicate to receive knowledge Females express about 20,000 expressions a day Males express about 7,000 expressions a day Source: Stock Illustration Source

12. Expression Females are the interpreter of emotions Males show their “manly” side Femininity as opposed to masculinity Source: Thai Woman Talks Source: Visuality
