Jamie Condliffe from Gizmodo writes, -
"If you often find yourself stuck for words in the presence of women, don’t beat yourself up; we’ve all been there. But it turns out it’s not you, it’s science! Merely thinking about the presence of women makes men stupid."

Would it be true of the opposite sex, no matter who was being researched? I think so. There are many emotional reasons that can make someone insecure, uptight or feel a number of miscellaneous emotions that could manifest in different ways. They may come from life experience or self talk on things projected as well as good things. Because people might do a certain thing, doesn't give an answer as to why that might be. I find most research lacking.

Because they didn't do the same test when they were observed by a man, there's no way to tell if it was the observation itself that caused it.

Oh yeah,as long as "they" accept that the converse is true.....I'm way smarter when "they" aren't around

Except that the "idiots" did exactly what you claim they didn't, as noted in both the linked Gizmodo article and the paper; the experiment had subjects who believed they were under observation by an individual of the same sex as well subjects who believed they were being observed by the opposite sex. The study examined the difference in performance under these different observation cases.

A criticism with some actual validity would be caution in generalizing the results. All participants were heterosexual university students, with a mean age of 21.

At age 21... few have a real confidence when it comes to the opposite sex and lots of inner struggles, overcome. That doesn't surprise me. How many of them got a hard on during the research?

Were there any gay men amongst the
test subjects?
Reminds me of a joke I heard a gay comedian
do about a woman throwing her breasts
at him while trying to cut in front of him
in a line. His punchline was "Bitch, your
powers don't have any effect on me,
get your ass to the back of the line."

Priceless!

The weird thing though....an awful lot of gay men are utterly (I almost typed udderly...) fascinated with breasts.

When you would love a man why not love the masculine?
