And given that diversity is always part of the picture, some of us females also have a higher threshold for the dirty house too...
I was told than women are genetically programmed to be interested in clean houses and look for dirt. Apparently that little bit of the gene pool went right by me....

Women reported ffering more apologies than men but they also reported committing more ffenses. These findings, in combination with results of a follow-up experiment, uggest that men apologize less frequently than women because they may have a igher threshold for what constitutes offensive behavior. We were recently discussing in my Research Seminar class the fact that APA style esearch papers are designed to encourage objective data-based conclusions nstead of over-hyped, biased conclusions and I thought the highlighted area of his abstract was a great example of just such a conclusion. Can you imagine a icer way of saying that? I can think of a number of other ways of saying it. For example, upon reading this abstract, I told my wife: "This research shows hat women apologize more often because they commit more offenses than men do." lame it on my higher threshold.
