Female Brain Psychology During Various Times of Life-Cycle and Relationship-Cycles
Top neuroscience psychologists researching the female brain can easily blame it all on “neurohormone oxytoxin” when it comes to the differences between the “mommy brain” and “mate seeking brain” or rather the time periods between mates. Of course, these realities of the changes in the human female brains is of value to better understand and then use such attributes to excel at various things. Now that I’ve got your attention, let’s discuss this for a moment.
Knowing that the single woman brain operates different than the married, and child bearing brain could be useful to success in teams in sports, business, government, and it would thus, make sense to take advantage of this. All women should understand their brains to take advantage of their strengths during these times. So, I ask;
How can we use these cycles and knowledge of the various chemicals running through the brain to improve trust, empathy, and improvement during negotiations to prevent political impasse?
In an educational setting how can we modify class assignments to improve retention knowing these things, modifying the delivery to tie-in with these facts? Does this mean we should have different ways of teaching for male and females – especially females with regards to their (life or relationship cycle)?
How is the female brain able to cope with radical changes during let’s say dating, advertising for a mate, new born, loss of new born (still births), loss of mate, divorce, etc? Is this a time for intervention? Are women taught about these emotional times to counter-act the radical changes?
Do creativity break-thrus happen during transitional periods? How fast is the death of creativity upon a new birth? Are we certain that it’s lost, or does the creativity go into motherhood?
Are there diet strategies which can be induced to level out the shift, or is that biologically dangerous for the offspring, and “attachment theory” – Can the same chemicals in the brain during these biological brain transitions be mimicked to use for team building, or focus on a certain “highly important” project, mission, or activity? Not necessarily “marrying ones job” but sort of.
Does a woman with 10-years of child-baring yes, as in a white mother prior to 1920’s with 8-10 kids, or a Mormon Mom with 10-kids or a Mexican Mom with 10-kids – wouldn’t it completely and permanently re-wire that brain for life, and wouldn’t those moms be better empathetic team builders, almost to the point of the inability to jump out of that role even if they wanted too?
Would this make them better Human Resource Professionals? Or start-up company “corporate moms” to keep the team as a family unit as it grows through various market hard-ships. If you were building a PERFECT Public Relations team, wouldn’t you thus, want a 10-year veteran mom for corporate relations, a few single women for creative content, and a couple married women to help tweak the message when marketing to baby boomers?
I mean these realities have so many real-world applications correct? Or is this far too “stereotypical profiling” which is definitely a common charge of many in field of psychology? If we could overcome the political correctness and discuss these things, we’d have happier and more successful females in our society. We should be talking about this, not sweeping such realities under the carpet. We need more study, if nothing more than to allow people to help themselves. Please consider all this.
