How Girls Become Hysterical Women

Numerous studies of psychologists reveal that women are twice as likely to become a victim of anxiety than men. In various surveys, women always note the increased level of anxiety concerning all aspects of human life: starting with the criminal situation and ending with politics.

Psychologists have always pointed out that women control their own emotions worse than men, and are prone to excessive self-criticism. Due to such statistics, many researchers have accepted the theory of Larry Summers, who says that women are just inherently programmed to be more nervous. This idea has irked many women in the psychological (and other) circles.

New evidence suggests that modern ladies are absolutely erroneously accused of being too emotional. It is a consequence of cultural trap. It is society and parents that willingly or unwillingly make ordinary girls become hysterical women. According to the research conducted by Michelle Craske, an expert in this field, during the first days of life male infants show an increased level of anxiety. Until the age of eleven, boys and girls are equally susceptible to anxiety, but at the age of 15 years, in contrast, girls are six times more prone to “bouts” of bad mood than boys. The researchers note that a significant difference in the upbringing of boys and girls affects their behavior in adulthood.

Parents will comfort the girl, who has a bleeding knee, and the boy will be told to bear the pain quietly, as a man would do. In addition, cultural prejudice treats boys as more capable and having such qualities as courage and perseverance in achieving their goals, while the girls are usually defended against any challenges. The researchers have concluded that teens experience a “hormonal storm” which equally influences the behavior of boys and girls, but emotions and concerns are perceived differently by the children of different sexes.
