Men cry is normal

While millions of people watched the ball rolling at the 2006 World Cup, researchers found the public's notion of men shedding a significant change.

Instead, one considers a face that is tense with a tear that silently rolls on the cheek as a sign of true male strength.

Psychologists have studied over 300 people and found a man who cried in the face of a horrible sadness that was more appreciated than a sullen girl.

"Some emotional expressions that are often not allowed to appear in men are now perfectly acceptable," said Stephanie Shields, head of research. Previously it was thought that men crying were too sensitive and weak.

Ms. Shields explained that public notions have changed profoundly after bloody events like the 9/11 terrorist attacks, Dunblane school shooting and the death of Princess Diana. In all these cases, people have seen strong men cry in front of the crowd.

"Our research shows that your tears are rated on 3 things," said Shields at the University of Pennsylvania.

" First you cry about something. If it's a very important thing, like the departure of a loved one, that is the meaning because it's something you can't control."

" The second thing is how you cry. The image of tears in the nose is still more negative than a teary eyes, it shows the rising emotion but still proves that you are in control. yourself ".

" The third factor is men. We find that when the situation is really serious and everyone cries, the advantage will be for men. Because people think that once a man tears. that must be very important. "

And one thing that is not surprising is the tears of anger or frustration, it does not get public sympathy.
