Why do females (vs. males) consistently score higher in Neuroticism?

In 2 pre-registered studies now in Psych Science, @NicholasTKerry1 + @DamianMurray1 find sex differences in "physical capital" drive sex differences in the anxiety facet of Neuroticism.

[Aaron Lukaszewski @SpeciesTypical]

Are women higher on average in dispositional anxiety in part because they are on average less physically formidable, and thus more vulnerable to a range of threats?

Here, @NicholasTKerry1 & @DamianMurray1 conduct preregistered tests of this hypothesis 👇👇👇
