This seems to buck a stereotype we've heard about women and emotions.
According to a new study out of England, men are actually twice as emotional as women at work.
The researchers say there are six big emotions we experience at work: Joy, surprise, anger, sadness, disgust, and fear.
And men are twice as likely to feel those feelings, and let their work affect their overall mood and happiness.
Men are also twice as likely to get upset or take it personally when they feel like their ideas are being ignored, and are 20% more likely to rage quit a job when things aren't going well.
Here's what our listeners said about the story:
Remember that marriage in the traditional sense had roles. . The male went out and was breadwinner or the provider, and the woman was a nurturer. Well that's not really the case any longer, the stigma appears to continue. When the male does poorly or is criticized at work it can be seen as undermining of their entire role in their marriage.
Women at work seem to have a constant or often low level emotional response to many things, while men seem to have somewhat spectacular blowouts less regularly
I think men are more likely to define themselves by work which leads to bigger emotions when it isn't going well.
I have worked in HR for 20 years, in my experience, men cry more than women.
We say women because of tears. But think about the anger aspect not just sad emotion.
