在人类中，社会性的两性异形已经被记录下来。本研究的目的是确定性别二型是否是由于两性之间的生物或社会文化差异。对102名新生儿进行了测试，以确定在注视面部（社会物体）和移动的（物理机械物体）的时间上是否存在差异。结果表明，男性婴儿对物理机械移动的表现出更强的兴趣，而女性婴儿对面孔表现出更强的兴趣。这项研究的结果清楚地表明，性别差异在某种程度上是生物学上的。(C)2000 Elsevier Science Inc. All rights reserved.
Sexual dimorphism in sociability has been documented in humans. The present study aimed to ascertain whether the sexual dimorphism is a result of biological or socio-cultural differences between the two sexes. 102 human neonates, who by definition have nor yet been influenced by social and cultural factors, were tested to see if there was a difference in looking time at a face (social object) and a mobile (physical-mechanical object). Results showed that the male infants showed a stronger interest in the physical-mechanical mobile while the female infants showed a stronger interest in the face. The results of this research clearly demonstrate that sex differences are in part biological in origin. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Inc. All rights reserved.
