Since research is compelling that levels of testosterone in males determine willingness to take risks, I wonder if it also affects perception of risk.

I would think so. But you'd also have to fold in the extent to which someone was narcissistic or individualist. To some extent any mechanism by which one focuses tightly on a small region will affect/limit the ability to track effects beyond that region. So, perhaps it's more a function of a thinner corpus callosum? -- glen e. p. ropella, 971-255-2847, http://tempusdictum.com He who regulates everything by laws, is more likely to arouse vices than reform them. -- Spinoza FRIAM Applied Complexity Group listserv Meets Fridays 9a-11:30 at cafe at St. John's College to unsubscribe http://redfish.com/mailman/listinfo/friam_redfish.com

I'm astonished that anyone could even contemplate fitting a straight line to those scatter plots. Alternative hypothesis...isn't it just that EWMs have a propensity to benefit from the status-quo?
