The majority of well-articulated study hypotheses indicate that women would report and/or exhibit

more fear and anxiety than males based on previous data. The explanation for this anticipated

finding, however, frequently goes unstated or just makes reference to the gender differences in

prevalence rates of anxiety disorders. This circular argumentation emphasizes the necessity to

pinpoint the intricate mechanisms behind gender-specific variations in anxiety. The effectiveness of

preventative and treatment measures may be increased by identifying the processes that foster and

perpetuate fear and anxiety in both men and women. Reviewing the evidence of gender-specific

variations in anxiety and terror is the goal of the current paper. A biosystem model is used to review

the findings of a thorough literature search using electronic databases. In this model, gender-specific

vulnerabilities at the molecular level of analysis gradually develop into fully articulated traits through

intricate, bidirectional interactions with molar level factors. This concept views men and women as

complex systems made up of multiple interrelated mechanisms.
