Men and women handle stress differently

Stress can cause individuals to think and act in drastically different ways than they normally would, and handling this stress may play an important role in lifelong success and personal development.

A recent study from a researcher as the University of Southern California found that men and women react differently under stress, and while both of these reactions may have served functions during the development of the human race, both may have their drawbacks now.

Nichole Lighthall, who conducted the investigation, found that under stress, men tend to proceed brashly while women tend to become more cautious and hesitant. However, in less stressful situations, the researcher found that men and women tend to make decisions in more similar ways.

Lighthall said that the findings underscore the importance of managing stress in daily life. They may also contribute to an improved understanding of gender differences. This knowledge could improve the ways people, particularly couples, handle stressful situations.

Author and philosopher Ilchi Lee has recommended meditation for years as a way to manage stress and stimulate personal development.
