On the surface, it is assumed that men are more angry than women, but according to studies and survey results, this is not true.
Research has found that women experience anger as frequently and severely as men.
A study conducted by scientists at Southwestern Missouri State University in the United States, which included 200 men and women, indicated that women were equally angry as men.
But the main difference between them was that the men could not effectively contain their anger when asked to do so, compared to the fact that the women were better able to control their immediate impulsive reactions to anger.
According to the British newspaper "The Guardian", some attributed the interpretation of these differences between the sexes to the fundamental differences in brain biology.
A study by Rubin and Raquel Gore at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine found that while the amygdala is about the same size in men and women, a second region called the orbitofrontal cortex that is involved in controlling aggressive impulses is much larger in women.
Thus, it may help that women are able to control their anger more than men.
Women get more angry with time
On the other hand, a BBC analysis of 10 years of available data from the Gallup World Poll found that women are more angry than men.
Each year, the Gallup poll monitors more than 120,000 people in more than 150 countries, who are asked, among other things, about the feelings they felt during the previous day.
And when it comes to negative emotions, especially anger, sadness, stress and anxiety, women consistently report experiencing these feelings more than men.
And when it comes to anger and stress, the gap between women and men is widening.
In 2012, both sexes reported anger and stress at similar levels.
After 9 years, the women were angrier by a margin of 6 percentage points and more stressed, too.
And there was a special difference in the time of the spread of the Covid-19 epidemic.
The BBC quoted psychiatrist Lakshmi Vijayakumar as saying that the increase in women's anger over the years is the result of tensions that have emerged with the increasing number of educated and economically independent women, while at the same time adhering to patriarchal systems and ancient culture.
She noted that "the dissonance between the patriarchal system in the home and the emancipated woman outside the home causes a lot of anger."
And the doctor believes that "men relax more than women, as they go to the cafe and smoke. As for women, they rush to the bus or train station, thinking about what to cook."
The wife may scream because she is frustrated, or because of stress, or the behavior of the husband, or a quarrel with a friend (Pixels).
Why do women scream?
Yelling is one of the most intense forms of expression of emotion, and it usually occurs when feeling very angry.
When a woman screams, men find it a very disgusting situation that should not be tolerated.
Whereas a woman may hear her husband say, "You don't have to yell at me."
However, what the man usually fails to understand is that the woman screams when she is angry at a repeated, unpleasant and completely unacceptable act that she has been talking about calmly.
"You need to scream and get angry to change things and make people pay attention and listen," Jeannette Azcona of the United Nations told the BBC.
In addition, helplessness in the face of a completely offensive situation often causes women to scream.
Why is your wife screaming?
According to Marriage, although yelling in marital relations is wrong, there are some common reasons why a wife yells at her husband, namely:
Feeling frustrated,
your wife may yell at you because she is frustrated, and this can be due to stress, husband's behavior, a fight with a girlfriend, etc.
Nobody listens to her.
It is essential in marriage that both spouses listen to each other. If your wife has problems and is complaining about something, you must understand her point of view and show that you heard her.
Otherwise, she may resort to yelling as a way of expression if she feels that you are being heard without interest.
Feeling stressed,
your wife may scream because she is stressed.
Stress is a major worry resulting from difficult situations and a trigger for screaming.
The stress your wife is under can be caused by working conditions, strenuous physical activities, too much housework, or childcare.
Husband doesn't help around the house,
housework seems easy for people who don't just participate in it.
So, if your wife is the one who does the housework every day and you don't try to help her then this can lead to frustration, anger and then yelling at you.
Repressed anger,
meaning anger that has been withheld and not adequately expressed.
This usually happens when problems arise and are waiting to be resolved.
If you notice that your wife gets angry over minor matters, it is because she is upset about past matters that have not been resolved.
Interrupting her while she's expressing herself
One of the best tips for active listening is to allow the other person to speak without interrupting them.
If your wife feels that you are preventing her from expressing herself properly, she may become angry and yell at you.
When you lie to her,
if the wife finds out that the husband is lying to her, she may yell at him.
Cultural background,
when a wife constantly screams at her husband, it may be that her parents used to treat each other in an abusive manner.
She sees this as a usual way of responding to situations beyond her control.
You have a financial problem.
If money is essential to your wife and she can't make enough of it, she may get frustrated and then yell at you.
When it comes to negative emotions, especially anger, women report experiencing these feelings more than men (Pixels)
What do you do when your wife screams?
Do not respond by yelling as this will only make the matter worse and unsolvable.
Instead, stay calm and can take a walk to calm down from the yelling.
You can reach out to her afterward when she's calmed down and ask her why she's angry.
Don't blame or advise her either, and when she yells, just listen to her.
Take responsibility and apologize if you have wronged her and show your understanding of how you feel because no sane person yells at another person for no reason.
Watch out when the women stop screaming
Hubpages states that yelling can be used as a warning sign to tell men what women are thinking.
When a woman gets to a point where she can't stand it, she screams, but when that doesn't help, she usually stops screaming and cries silently.
So men should beware when a woman changes her mind.
As for when a woman stops screaming and crying, this means that she is in a completely different stage. You will find her tired of things that have not been resolved, and finally she realizes that screaming is not enough in reference to her frustration.
As for when you reach a point where you find her smiling when you let her down, this is definitely a sign of surrender and perhaps going without return or continuing with you without feelings.
