Angry men are accepted and rewarded, while women who get angry are viewed as less competent according to three studies from Yale and Northwestern University.

Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign has put a spotlight on the question of whether anger hurts a female candidate. The answer, according to the studies, appears to be an unequivocal yes - unless the anger deals with treatment of a family member.

The research, published in the March issue of Psychological Science, provides women with recommendations for navigating emotional hazards of the workplace.

Both men and women in the studies reached the same conclusions: Angry men deserved more status, a higher salary, and were expected to be better at the job than angry women

Interestingly, when men explained why they were angry, the views that others had of them were damaged, while women were allowed to explain their anger.
