Gender Differences in Malevolent Creativity's Neurophysiological Basis.

A study published in Brain Research suggests that while potential for malevolent creativity may be comparable between women and men, the brain mechanisms that underlie it vary. The study found that women and men are similarly capable of malevolent creative ideation, but seem to utilize different neurocognitive processes in their efforts to exact creative revenge on others. Women rely on executive control for their malevolent creativity, while men are likely displaying malevolent creativity through more spontaneous brain processes.
