You would have better luck if you broke each of those questions down separately. You would have to write a small book to answer all of them and I am too overwhelmed to answer.
The answer to one is the the hormones, estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone, effect behavior as well as produce developmental bodily changes and cyclical bodily changes. These hormones affect mood and thought patterns. Evolutionarily, by separating the two sexes nature caused a specialization of sexual functioning and behavioral functioning such that one sex became nururant and the other adapted to hunting, fighting, and travel.

Answer to Q-5

There are a lot of people who use self-talk to handle what is going on inside their minds. When self-talk is not monitored cautiously it can lead to drastic effects not only on one’s personality but also affects its mentality and self-esteem. Self-talk is a type of conversation which we conduct with ourselves. In literature we call it soliloquy. Brain’s reticular activating system never forgets what we repeat again and again. Ironically this system can not recognize what is beneficial to the individual and what is not. Think you can, think you can't; either way, you'll be right- a saying goes like this. Therefore when ever we ‘talk’ with ourselves, we should be cautious, very cautious in fact. There are a lot of audio programs which can help and there are a lot of online books. If I recall there is a book ‘self-talk solutions’ which is every effective in this scenario.
