Abstract
The women and peace hypothesis posits that women are more oriented toward peace and compromise than are men. More specifically, women are seen as more accepting of compromise in disputes and as less likely than men to support violence and war (Caprioli & Boyer, 2001). Competition, dominance, intransigence, and territoriality are thus associated with a “male” approach to conflict, whereas cooperation, interdependence, accommodation, concern for others, tolerance, and pacifism are seen as a “female” perspective (Tessler, Nachtwey, & Grant, 1999).
