At work, men are more emotional than women.

Scientists at the British University Anglia Ruskin conducted a study and found outhow men, women and millennials express their emotions at work. For this, 2,000 office workers and 250 managers were interviewed.

Statistics show:

• Men are 60% more likely to take criticism to heart;
• Men are 140% more likely to be upset when their ideas are ignored;
• Women are 25% more likely to experience stress and frustration.

About 43% of the men surveyed raise their voices from time to time to let off steam. Finally, they are also more likely to make important decisions on emotions, and men are 20% more likely to quit their jobs due to difficult conditions than women.

At the same time, 30% of managers consider emotions an expression of weakness, and 51% said that any emotion - both negative and positive - should be abandoned in the workplace. Dr. Terry Simpkin comments: “The work environment creates social expectations. There are unspoken rules about how, when, and to whom emotions can be expressed. And this is the main reason why people suppress them: they are afraid of condemnation. "

Millennials are 91% more likely to express anger and sadness, and 80% more likely to express disgust. Scientists believe that the reason for this is a personality crisis and the fear of not achieving success and not joining the team. At the same time, the dynamics are positive, and young employees experience less and less negative emotions every year.
