Anger Repressed For A Long Time From Work Is Risky For Men

The research team, led by Constanze Leineweber

, psychologist of Institute for Stress Research in Stockholm University, started from 1992 to 1995 and selected 2755 men from 20 medical institutions to carry out a follow-up survey. The researchers used questionnaires to ask the respondents' response when they encountered unfair treatment in their work both from boss or colleagues. Tit for tat or endured silently or leave with nothing or angry after going home. At the beginning of the investigation, all the respondents had no heart disease, but 47 respondents suffered from heart disease or died of heart diseases at the end of 2003. the researchers found that people who choose endured silently or leave with nothing are easier suffer from heart disease than those select the way of tit for tat. As for people who choose angry after going home, they did not increase the rate of suffering heart disease. This finding was reported by British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) recently.

The researchers believe that if the feeling of anger which doesn't promptly release would lead to physical tension, and thus lead to blood pressure increased and ultimately harm to the cardiovascular system. Their research hold a similar conclusion with an article published on Journal of Occupational and Environmental Medicine in the last year. The article pointed out that the boss's arbitrary or incompetent would increase the rate of heart disease and mortality for their subordinates. Leineweber said:" think men are not good at dealing with conflict. The question is not what they think, but that they are instinctive reaction to what is." Judy - O'Sullivan, senior nurse at British Heart Foundation said:"The pressure on the heart and blood circulatory system itself does not pose a threat, but some people's response to stress, such as smoking or extreme reactions will increase the risk, the important thing is to find a positive way to response the stress from work and family."

The researchers also carried out a similar survey on approximately 2,500 women and found out that women's heart disease rate is too low, this findings is difficult to analyze. Blues Rabin, director of Healthy Living Program, pointed out that women in general are better than men at adapting to high-pressure environment.
