Are women more emotional? Science dismantles stereotypes about gender thinking

Recent scientific research shows that stereotypes that portray men as rational and stable, and women as emotional and fickle, do not accurately reflect reality.

Studies indicate that emotional fluctuations are a common human trait, and are not linked to one gender or another, as both men and women are affected by psychological, hormonal, and social factors.

Psychological and neurological research confirms that biological differences in processing emotions between the sexes are limited, while socialization plays an essential role in how emotion is expressed and evaluated.

These perceptions do not remain theoretical, but are reflected practically in work environments, social relationships, and mental health, where they may undermine women’s leadership opportunities and lead men to suppress their feelings and seek support.

Studies conclude that going beyond these stereotypes allows for a fairer and more realistic understanding of human behavior, based on the individual and not on gender.
