The finding is interesting, but wouldn't it be more interesting still if they had performed the same study with the sexes reversed also? We would then know for definite if there is a sex difference in behaviour. As it is we don't know. Women are just as capable of bad behaviour as men, and to think otherwise is to subscribe to the sugar and spice and all things nice school of sexism.
Also, imagine substituting men and women for black and white, or jew/non-jew, etc. I suspect the ethics board might be asking questions.
