Negative Emotions – Women are much more likely to experience negative emotions and internalizing disorders such as depression and anxiety than men (Kessler et al. 1994; Nolen – Hoeksema, 1995; Nolen – Hoeksema & Rusting, 1999). Internalizing disorders – involve intense negative emotions. Research reviewed by Nolen – Hoeksema and Rusting (1999) also shows that gender differences in depression and anxiety disorders appear early in life. Among girls, mood disorders typically appear between the ages of 11 and 15. No such early developmental onset is found for boys.…
Connor Beaton defines a real man to show emotion and express feelings. In today's society, a real man should suppress their emotions but Connor Beaton thinks a real man should be able to be emotional. Beaton states,”What emotional resilience actually requires is for you to experience, articulate, express, and occasionally release them. The sad truth is that most boys and men are taught not to feel, to be emotionally suppressed” (Beaton 9:16). When men began to express their emotions and show vulnerability, then men can began to open up to each other. So men can be able to feel and release the emotions that have been contained for years . If men keep suppressing emotions it will only lead to depression…

When we were small children, our gender didn't mean much other than our anatomy. We recognized differences between ourselves and the opposite sex, but it didn't mean much as far as how we acted. The older that we got, observation and instruction began to dictate our behavior based on gender. We saw other children of the same gender acting a certain way and then we made the connection that that was how we were supposed to act also. Along with observation, adults and other older children told us things like, "boys don't cry" and "you're such a pretty girl." Statements like these focus on stereotypes of genders: the masculinity of men and the appearance of women. We are not born knowing these stereotypes. The world and culture around us cultivates the stereotypes that we will see in the future. As we grow up and learn these stereotypes in America, our…
This article discusses the American Male and how the culture has deemed in not appropriate or not culturally acceptable for the males to show emotions or any femininity. This can become very diverse has males are already known as those “who don’t care.” However, rather than being a typical male who does not care (emotionally) Balswick and Peek example why in the American culture males have been taught this, and how over time inexpressiveness can…
I find it interesting that in the study of an infant girl being ignored by her mother she was better able to cope with the emotions accompanied by the action versus an infant boy who became frustrated and upset. I know for my nephews they tend to be a bit more emotional and animated when it comes to interacting with the family and just playing. I have two girls and they just don’t tend to play as hard or have quite as much violence tied into their play.…

Everybody knows that boys and girls are very different. They look different, act different, like different things, perform differently in school and sports, and are just different people! Studies have shown multiple differences in how male and female brains function differently. One of the most interesting differences is how the male brains process language, estimate time, judge speed, carry out mental math calculations, view the orientation of space, and visualize three dimensional objects better then women. Women are better at human relations, recognizing emotional overtones in others and language, emotional artistic expressiveness, esthetic appreciation, verbal language, and carrying out pre- planned tasks. Scientists think that this might explain why there are more men…

Biologically, men and woman perceive the world differently therefore they communicate differently. Woman are believed to be more passive, emotional, gentle, and sensitive to others that’s why they are believed to use more expressive and involved nonverbal…
How boys become men the article we read by Jon Katz, was interesting because I thought it was very different from other articles. It was interesting to read about what boys and men thought of each other and others. It gives a positive statement on how boys still haven't change and are still growing. Jon explains why boys act the way they do and why they think like they do. He analyzed why men grow up to be insensitive. This might actually be the main problem that men do not know how to express their own feelings. Boys always feel pressured to be tough and not show any emotion or fear. They’re influenced by their family and outside factors like tv shows and movies. The article says that the experiences boys go through as they are growing up shapes their adulthood attitudes and behavior. The article also mentions that boys learn from other boys. I agree with these last two statements that the article mentions. You learn from what you see and experience and these things help shape your performance.…
In the excerpt from the book, Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus, author John Gray discusses the stark differences between men and women. He states that the personality traits between men and women are so dissimilar, that each sex might as well have originated from the planets, Mars and Venus, respectively. He explains that men value power and achievement, and they choose certain occupations and offer others solutions to their problems based on these values. Comparatively, women believe communication and relationships are more important, and they desire empathy when they interact with others. He details that these different character traits often cause confusion and communication barriers between men and women. Gray’s excerpt explains his unique definition of male and female personalities; however, it is a broad assumption to say that all men and women behave in a certain way solely based on their gender. The stereotypes that Gray specifically utilizes in his excerpt oversimplify the complex interactions between men and women instead of showing their differing emotional responses based on particular situations. The two emotional responses that Gray does not compare are stress and anger. The male and female reactions to these emotions offer the best example of the differences between the sexes.…
Just about every literature book discusses a male in power who has cried publicly. During that time tears meant that a man cared enough to show his emotions. Until recently, society has set a precedent that strong men don't cry. To "Suck it up" and to deal with whatever the world throws at them without shedding a single tear.…
Studies and research have shown that men and women experience negative emotions much differently than each other. Women tend to take negative emotions and internalize them while mean externalize negative emotions. By internalizing emotions women are more likely to develop depression and anxiety. It has also been found that women develop depression earlier than men do. Men tend to externalize their negative emotions, showing outwardly towards objects or people. Drug abuse, antisocial personalities, and anger are common factors in the externalization of negative emotions in men. Researchers explain these differences with the paradox of gender.…
