You could point to gender roles or biology. Men often try to make themselves exceptional in some way.

I cant find the source quickly but some reasearch found that men see about half the women they know as potential mates. This means women just need to be better than half to be considered by men. This isnt consciously done obviously but at some level most women are just tryig to be better than half.

Women only see 1-3 men as potential mates. Its a limited number independent of how many men they interact with. This means men need to excel or be exceptional in some way. If they arent then what is the point in trying.

In life this plays out as men reaching for extreems more often. And giving up if they wont be seen as exceptional.

If your not first, your last.

It makes sense to me, on average women are more sensitive to negative emotion (higher neuroticism) and are more sensitive to issues with coworkers when trying to fit into their role (higher agreeableness): meaning they’re more susceptible to imposter syndrome.

There was some sort of music or orchestra that decided to do blind listening tests for the judges to eliminate sexism.

There was a paper in 2000 that claimed that it increased female selection by 50%, but so far, only the opposite has been replicated and to my knowledge, no explanation to where they got their numbers was ever provided.

It turns out that when the judges knew that the women were women, they would rate them higher.

It looks like the vertical is by date during the year. I think it would be more impactful and informative to put the most impactful ones down the 'center line' so that you could see the change in the number of victims per incident. Although, if this is by chronological order, it would seem the most violent attacks are later half of the year, though Columbine wasn't in the middle of year, April?

Respectfully, what on earth is going on with the wording for those questions? Why would the first question be a polite request (question with "please") while the second is a startling command (demand with exclamation mark)? In what world is "Rate your [sensitive confession]!" an appropriate way, verbally, to elicit that data?

You took your one psych class which is more than enough to know that those things matter. If this were any sort of formal research project all your data would be tossed in the garbage, do not pass go do not collect $200, because you don't pass even the second most basic level of smell test (the first being that you didn't dox them, their entire families, and their dog).

Please do some reading on how to conduct surveys before doing any more.

Ironically enough, I'm neurotic as fuck but don't feel Imposter Syndrome. I have very average abilities and I don't pretend I'm any more skilled than that. Anyone that hires me is agreeing to take on a self-proclaimed mediocre worker, that's their fault!

Tbh I figure that a pre-requisite to Imposter Syndrome is some form of dishonesty, usually social posturing I'd guess. How else are people being fooled if you are not the one fooling them? It doesn't work if you say "Oh, no, it's just that they're wrong about me, making undue assumptions about my abilities etc." So, they're hedging their bets on you performing well, completely unfounded and detached from reality and any observable behaviors? Looks like we're all idiots, then, and you are no outlier.

Then why aren't the guns causing mayhem in Indiana? I'm always surprised when the anti-civil rights people use Indiana as a scapegoat for the issues in Chicago when in reality, it totally disproves their points- gun control laws don't control behavior and the guns aren't crux of the problem, otherwise cities in Indiana would have similar issues to Chicago. The people pushing 20th century failed 'gun control' theory often play with the aggregation level- state or sometimes city, when the problem is far more focused. Dilution is the solution when it comes to hiding violent crime. Bruen is bringing an end to the failed 'gun control' laws and will force our society to face the real causes and solutions to violence.

If you're curious about something, try looking it up, preferably on Google Scholar or some other more empirically robust place than Google.

Why ask a random Redditor what their theory is? They probably know just as little as you do. Laypeople really aren't knowledgeable enough to have plausible and well-informed theories outside their realm of expertise. Meanwhile there are scientists working on these problems for their entire lives, and their writings can be found relatively quickly.

I can almost guarantee OP meant US, but had to include Canada because several Canadian cities play in some of the US leagues. OP then made the unfortunate mistake of conflating US+Canada with North America.

In which case, the “major” sports leagues are clearly NHL, NBA, NFL, MLB, and MLS.

It’s possible, but can you provide any evidence of this theory? I’ve been watching nhl for 30 years, and yes some rinks have shitty ice and some rinks are known for having good ice. I can’t imagine they do it on purpose to slow down another team, when every team in the league has fast players.
