Abstract

[This chapter takes a brain’s-eye view of gender and the brain. It also focuses on behavioural design to enhance gender diversity within organisations. Few topics give rise to such reliable stereotyping as the topic of gender differences. Differences between male and female behaviour are often thought, often without good evidence, to reflect deep differences in the biology of males and females. Furthermore, observable differences in behaviour are often argued to reflect deep and immutable differences in the structure and function of male and female brains. There is also little doubt that there are deep and pervasive differences within and between societies with regard to how males and females are treated in respect to gender roles, incomes, political power and a whole variety of other variables. Some of these may arise from simple biases regarding gender roles. A wide variety of tests are available now to reveal biases on the parts of males and females with regard to gender roles.]
