WOMEN say sorry more often than men, while men are less likely to believe they need to apologise for their actions, according to a Canadian study reported by USA Today.
Psychologists at the University of Waterloo in Ontario found men have a "higher threshold" for behaving badly.
They also don't see eye to eye with women as to what is right and wrong, the study published online in the journal Psychological Science found.
"The gender differences just sort of leapt out at us," psychology professor Michael Ross, who co-authored the study, said. "It was too big to ignore. It was just very clearly there."
The psychologists used 186 people for their study and divided them by gender.
The participants were asked to keep a diary outlining instances when they apologized for their actions or felt they should have.
