Sexual Dimorphism in Alpha Space: I Differences Between Sexes in Physiological Fear Reactions
Keywords:
sexual dimorphism, fear, physiological reactions, discriminative analysisAbstract
Set of 14 physiological simptoms of raptoid and iktoid reactions in state of fear were registered on random sample of 2262 subjects, age between 18 and 92, 1015 (44.87%) male and 1247 (55.13%) female. The differences between men and women in intensity of these simptoms were analysed by concurrent application of canonical and quasi-canonical discriminative analysis. Both of applied methods gave concordant results whereby the correlation between binary variable which defined sex qualification and discriminative function was slightly higher under canonical (0,36) compared to quasi-canonical (0,29) model, but the reliability and informativness of discriminative function defined under quasi-canonical model was much higher. Women had significantly higher frequency and higher intensity of physiological disturbances in state of fear. The greatest differences were found in those physiological reactions which were the consequence of raptoid type of reaction, and much less, under both analytical models, in physiological disturbances which were consequence of ictoid type of reaction.
