Research on gender and stress suggest that men and women tend to respond to different stressors. Studies show that women experience a wider range of life events (e.g., those happening to friends) as stressful as compared with men who react to a more limited range of stressful events, specifically those affecting themselves or close family members.

Women tend to react more to chronic life stressors like:

• Time constraints

• Meeting others’ expectations

• Marital relationships

• Children and family health

Men are more affected by work-related stressors like:

• Change of job

• Demotion

• Pay cut

• Financial difficulties

A Two to Five Ratio!

Highly-stressed men are twice as likely to suffer symptoms as men who are not experiencing stress, while stressed out women, are five times as likely.

In a workplace where conditions exist that are outside the person’s control or realm of influence and where roles, responsibilities, authority, accountabilities or expectations are unclear, frustrated passion can arise, resulting in:

• a high stress environment

• poor communication

• office politics

• workflow problems

• diminished productivity and

• staff disengagement.
