“…Women also tend to smile more, but results from a meta-analysis suggest that they do so especially in situations where they are expected to smile more (LaFrance, Hecht, & Paluck, 2003). In sharp contrast, men feel anger more frequently and tend to be more aggressive than women (Biaggio, 1980(Biaggio, , 1989Doyle & Biaggio, 1981). This provides evidence against the idea that women are generally more emotional than men and instead, it depends on the type of emotion and on the situation.…”

a b s t r a c tInterest in sex-related differences in psychological functioning has again come to the foreground with new findings about their possible functional basis in the brain. Sex differences may be one way how evolution has capitalized on the capacity of homologous brain regions to process social information between men and women differently. This paper focuses specifically on the effects of emotional valence, sex of the observed and sex of the observer on regional brain activations. We also discuss the effects of and interactions between environment, hormones, genes and structural differences of the brain in the context of differential brain activity patterns between men and women following exposure to seen expressions of emotion and in this context we outline a number of methodological considerations for future research. Importantly, results show that although women are better at recognizing emotions and express themselves more easily, men show greater responses to threatening cues (dominant, violent or aggressive) and this may reflect different behavioral response tendencies between men and women as well as evolutionary effects. We conclude that sex differences must not be ignored in affective research and more specifically in affective neuroscience.

“…Research in this area is increasingly theory driven. As a result, progress is being made in efforts to specify or distinguish the extent to which intensity of angry feelings as a state or trait, hostile beliefs, or the style of expressing anger contribute to the pathogenesis of physical illness (e.g., Biaggio, 1980;Musante et al, 1989;Spielberger et al, 1983Spielberger et al, , 1988 and the mechanisms by which these variables exert their effects (Leiker and Hailey, 1988;Williams et al, 1985).…”

Anger expression and chronic pain

1994

Intensity of angry feelings and styles of expressing anger were examined for their relationship to measures of the chronic pain experience. Subjects were 142 chronic pain patients. Multiple regression analyses revealed that a style of inhibiting the expression of angry feelings was the strongest predictor of reports of pain intensity and pain behavior among a group of variables including demographics, pain history, depression, anger intensity, and other styles of anger expression. In a similar manner anger intensity contributed significantly to predictions of perceived pain interference and activity level. More conservative hierarchical regression analyses supported these findings. Results are consistent with explanatory models of pain and disability that hypothesize an etiologic role of a pervasive inability to express intense negative emotions, particularly anger.

“…For example, the Framingham Heart Study found that middle-aged women were more likely to inhibit anger expression as compared to middie-aged men ( Hayaes & Feinleib, 1980). In addition, a study by Biaggio (1980) found that males tended to score higher on subscales of the BussDurkee Hostility hventory (BDHI; Buss & Durkee. L957) that measured a tendency to show aggressive expression of anger, whereas fernales tended to score higher on subscales that measured a tendency to inhibit anger expression.…”
