Women, Work and Anger

According to a study by Victoria Brescoll of Yale University and Eric Uhlmann of Northwestern University, women cannot afford to be angry.

The study shows that women lose credibility when they get angry in the work place, while angry men get rewarded.

“It pays to stay emotionally neutral or at least explain what ticked you off in the first place,” Brescoll said.

The study shows that people think angry women are too emotional and irrational, though, it is expected of men to be angry.
