Anger Management Improves with Age In Women, Study Says
- Researchers led by Nancy Fugate Woods analyzed anger traits in more than 500 women aged 35 to 55 to study aging effects.
- They examined how aging and reproductive stages influence anger, finding chronological age significantly relates to anger measures like hostility.
- Results showed that although older women experienced more intense anger, they became better at managing it, possibly due to increased generativity in midlife.
- Dr. Monica Christmas emphasized that educating women about mood changes during menopause and managing symptoms can profoundly improve quality of life.
- These findings suggest that acknowledging and addressing anger in midlife may support mental health and relationships, but further research on anger management is needed.
