Controlling Anger and Happiness at Work: An Examination of Gender Differences
研究美国职场中男女在情绪管理上的差异，发现女性比男性更少表达愤怒、更多表达快乐，且工作与地位特征能解释性别与愤怒管理的关系，但与快乐管理无关。
This article examines gender differences in the emotion management of men and women in the workplace. The belief in American culture that women are more emotional than men has limited women's opportunities in many types of work. Because emotional expression is often tightly controlled in the workplace, examining emotion management performed at work presents an opportunity to evaluate gender differences in response to similar working conditions. Previous research suggests that men and women do not differ in their experiences of emotion and the expression of emotion is linked to status positions. An analysis of survey data collected from workers in a diverse group of occupations illustrates that women express anger less and happiness more than men in the workplace. Job and status characteristics explain the association between gender and anger management at work but were unrelated to the management of happiness expressions in the workplace.
