This book provides insight into the emotion of anger from a
theoretical and empirical standpoint and from the viewpoint of
fifty ordinary women and men who share their experiences, beliefs,
and perceptions of anger in their own and others' lives. The
author's main goal is to explore the extent and sources of anger
that women and men feel toward members of the other sex and their
perceptions of what angers other men and women. Respondents'
general experiences with the emotion of anger are also
investigated. Experiences and beliefs about various aspects of
gender-based anger are put in the context of respondents' beliefs
about recent gender role changes as well as their perceptions of
ways to improve relationships between women and men. Analysis of
interviews reveals complicated patterns of convergence and
divergence based on gender. Women and men share perceptions in
reference to some aspects of anger and some anger-related
experiences. However, a significant gender gap exists in other
areas. This book makes clear the need for better understanding and
management of anger in our lives as well as the need to structure
relations between men and women so that new ideals of equality and
understanding can be realized in a context of shared
responsibilities, respect, and lack of anxiety about what it means
to be a man or a woman.
