However, Taylor et al.challenged this and provided evidence that females produce the tend and befriend response which is adaptive for the survival of their offspring.

For example, research has found that equal parental leave ignores the biological demands of pregnancy, childbirth,breastfeeding, and the unique abilities of women. This is therefore disadvantageous to women. This matters because arguing for equality between men and women draws attention away from women's unique abilities. By equalling policies for men and women it tends to benefit the group with more power. Therefore some would argue that beta bias should be avoided to ensure that significant differences are taken into account.} \tn % Row Count 14 (+ 14) \hhline{>{\arrayrulecolor{DarkBackground}}--} \end{tabularx} \par\addvspace{1.3em} \begin{tabularx}{17.67cm}{p{1.727 cm} p{1.727 cm} } \SetRowColor{DarkBackground} \mymulticolumn{2}{x{17.67cm}}{\bf\textcolor{white}{6.}} \tn % Row 0 \SetRowColor{LightBackground} \mymulticolumn{2}{x{17.67cm}}{Therefore, another way to reduce gender bias is to take a feminist perspective and acknowledge real biological differences between men and women. For example, Eagly claimed that women. are less effective leaders than men. This matters because by acknowledging such gender differences, females can be provided with greater support, such as training programmes in the workplace to help them to succeed. Therefore, feminist psychology can be used to understand behaviour and thus increase equality in society. However, whilst feminist psychology aims to correct the imbalances, it may lead to a new kind of bias called gynocentrism which is the dominant or exclusive focus on women in theory or practice.} \tn % Row Count 15 (+ 15) \hhline{>{\arrayrulecolor{DarkBackground}}--} \end{tabularx} \par\addvspace{1.3em} \begin{tabularx}{17.67cm}{p{1.727 cm} p{1.727 cm} } \SetRowColor{DarkBackground} \mymulticolumn{2}{x{17.67cm}}{\bf\textcolor{white}{7.}} \tn % Row 0 \SetRowColor{LightBackground} \mymulticolumn{2}{x{17.67cm}}{This shows we must be careful to consider the research methods used in psychological practices to minimise gender bias. For example, Eagly and Johnson reviewed studies in a meta-analysis and noted that studies in real settings found women and men were judged more similar in styles of leadership than in lab settings. This matters because feminists argue that the lab experiments disadvantage women because findings in these controlled settings lack generalisability of the behaviour of women in the real world. Therefore, androcentrism in psychology. may stem from the way data is collected in studies on women.} \tn % Row Count 13 (+ 13) \hhline{>{\arrayrulecolor{DarkBackground}}--} \end{tabularx} \par\addvspace{1.3em} \begin{tabularx}{17.67cm}{p{1.727 cm} p{1.727 cm} } \SetRowColor{DarkBackground} \mymulticolumn{2}{x{17.67cm}}{\bf\textcolor{white}{8.}} \tn % Row 0 \SetRowColor{LightBackground} \mymulticolumn{2}{x{17.67cm}}{So, another way to reduce gender bias is to develop theories which show the differences between men and women but while emphasising the value of women. For example, Kohlberg argued that females are less morally developed than men. This matters because Kohlberg's research was androcentric as he used male-oriented dilemmas and bared his theory of moral development on research conducted on male participants. Later, Gilligan found that women are not less morally developed, they simply favour a care oriented moral system rather than a justice oriented moral system. Therefore, Gilligan's research showed that males and females are different but women's approach to moral reasoning is not inferior. This reduces gender bias.} \tn % Row Count 15 (+ 15) \hhline{>{\arrayrulecolor{DarkBackground}}--} \end{tabularx} \par\addvspace{1.3em} \end{document}
