The Kindness Dichotomy: A Study on Gender Differences in Generosity

Recent scientific research has validated a long-held belief: women tend to exhibit more kindness and courtesy than men. A landmark study published in the journal PLOS ONE focused on this very topic, utilizing a unique format to evaluate the generosity of over a thousand adult participants.

The Experiment: The Dictator Game

The study employed an experimental design known as the "dictator game," which involves two players but is not a competitive format. In this game, one player, referred to as the "dictator," is given a sum of €1 and asked how much they are willing to share with a second player, who is randomly chosen from the pool of participants.
