Hot-tempered women are prone to underestimation

Whether running into the mayor's seat or looking for an office job, women should not get angry at the crowd.

Science Daily said that over the years, psychologist Victoria Brescoll of Yale University has found that women always pay a certain price if they are constantly angry, while men are more appreciated if angry.

Hillary Clinton, the Democratic presidential candidate for the presidency of the Democratic presidency in 2008, raised the question of American public opinion: Does anger affect the likelihood of success of the Female politicians in particular and women in general or not? So Brescoll decided to conduct research to understand this issue with psychologist Eric Uhlmann of Northwestern University, USA.

Two experts for volunteers (both male and female) watch videos in which the characters show anger in the process of finding a job. Volunteers were asked to evaluate the job applicants' abilities in the videos and decide whether or not to recruit them and how they would pay.

The results showed that all volunteers appreciated hot-tempered men. They argue that such men should be given great responsibility for their work, high wages and will perform better than hot-tempered women.

When the research team showed videos in which the characters expressed a sad, timid attitude during the job application process, the volunteers' bias for men and women became less clear. They assessed the capacity of male and female candidates equally, but still thought that men were sad and timid to deserve higher salaries than women.

In Brescoll and Uhlmann's second test for volunteers, watch the video in which the candidates participated in the interview for low-level jobs. Some candidates show impatient attitude, while other candidates do not show emotion. The results showed that volunteers still rated men higher than women when both subjects had a tantrum. However, this bias disappears for male and female candidates who do not express emotions.

The final test is done to find a way to help hot-tempered women win social sympathy. Volunteers watch videos in which female characters explain why they are angry. Brescoll found that volunteers only appreciated women if they were angry because a family member was treated badly. On the contrary, men are always underestimated when they explain the cause of a rash. Brescoll remarked that when men explain the cause of anger, observers often assume that it is an expression of weakness.

'Opinion always recognizes that hot women are people who do not have the capacity, no matter what position they hold in society,' concluded Brescoll.
