Answer to Question 1

Answer: Men tend to engage in either a fight response or a flight response. Women typically tend to their offspring and befriend each other for support. Males typically secrete additional androgens and females oxytocin when faced with danger.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: Social comparison theory states that humans have a need to continually evaluate how we are doing. If physical standards for comparison are available (such as for how fast we run a mile race on different days), we will use them. Otherwise, we turn to others, especially similar others, for comparison.
