“…If differences are found, as is the case in some studies, using American and Dutch respondents, some of these even contradict the stereotype, women reporting more rather than less anger than do men (Brody et al 1995;El-Sheikh et al 2000;Fischer et al 2004;Strachan and Dutton 1992). Interestingly, the more intense anger on the part of women seems to be most prevalent in reaction to men compared to women (Brody et al 1995;Harris 1994;Richardson et al 1986), and in intimate settings following condescending behavior by men (Buss 1989;El-Sheikh et al 2000;Frodi 1977;Harris 1991).…”

In other words, women's anger is most often elicited in heterosexual, romantic relationship contexts.…”

On the basis of Social Role Theory and a social functional view of emotions, we argue that gender differences in anger experiences and expression are related to men's and women's relationship context. We hypothesized that women in traditional relationship contexts would express their anger less directly, and would suppress their anger more, due to expected negative social appraisals. We compared anger reactions to a conflict situation in a traditional and egalitarian relationship context. Eighty-two Dutch adult participants (43 women and 39 men) were recruited partly by students in a psychology class, and partly by a snowball method. They were invited to participate only if they had a steady relationship of minimally one year. The results show that women report more intense subjective anger in both contexts, but that the expression of anger differed with relationship context. In traditional relationships women tend to suppress their anger more than men, while men report to express their anger directly more than women. This difference in anger expression was mediated by negative social appraisals. In egalitarian relationships, this difference was not found.

Forgiveness in Younger, Middle-Aged and Older Adults: Age and Gender Matters

2011

The present study investigated age and gender differences in forgiveness of real-life transgressions. Emerging and young, middle-aged, and older adults recalled the most recent and serious interpersonal transgression and then completed the Transgression-Related Interpersonal Motivations Inventory (TRIM-18), which measured their avoidance, revenge, and benevolence motivation toward an offender and indicated to what extent they are generally concerned with the subject of forgiveness. The results revealed a trend among middle-aged adults to express more avoidance than younger adults. Moreover, young men had a greater motivation to seek revenge than middle-aged and older men. No such age differences were apparent for women. Additionally, forgiveness was a more manifest subject in everyday life for middle-aged adults and women. These findings emphasize the importance of age and gender when investigating forgiveness.
