Gender Differences in Competitive Payment Choices Across Societies

The chapter explores studies and experiments on gender differences in choosing competitive payment structures across various societies. It highlights how cultural norms and societal setups, such as a matrilineal society where women hold decision-making power, can influence women to opt for competitive options equally or more than men. The findings challenge the stereotype that men are inherently more competitive than women by illustrating that cultural factors can outweigh evolutionary influences.
