Bad news will stress women
If you love your woman and do not want to stress her
then avoid giving her bad news. Quite impossible but a new study have proved
that negative news or information will affect women more than men and they even
remember the details better.
The Canadian researchers showed men and woman reports
from newspapers which consisted of accidents and murders took a greater toll on
the female psyche. The reason being, according to the researchers, women are
more empathetic and have evolved to look out for and think about the situations
that might threaten them and their children.
An experiment was conducted where in about 56 men and
women were provided with selection of stories from newspapers. Some of the
participants were judged to be emotionally neutral. The reports included information
related to film premier, an opening of a new bridge and some harrowing stories.
The saliva of participants was checked for changes in levels of stress hormone
cortisol.
The negative news not only increased the stress levels
in women, it made them more reactive affecting their physiological response. They
were able to remember more details of the negative stories. However, this
phenomenon was not witnessed in male participants.
France Marine, a researcher in University of Montreal
stated that women’s body may be primed to be alert to danger. The women’s
stress system is wired up to ensure not only their own survival but the one of
their offspring as well.
