Career women: combating stereotypes

There are no anatomical and physiological differences between men from women who would not allow the latter to perform the work of a man, to take the male role. Why, then, women are not less willing to take on the job? This problem, first, in traditions and in the public stereotypes, and secondly, in the psychological characteristics of women, their motivations, which are often focused on personal life, family or self-assertion, and not in the execution of the work. In General, the male body is more vulnerable, the average life expectancy for men is lower than women. But leaders of organizations are not interested in the health of employees, but primarily how they cope with responsibilities.


Alfonso Montuori meant 4 the main differences in the psychology of men and women:





Independence


Men have a tendency to independence. Women emphasize interdependence, most socially-centered and more aware of the ties that unite people. Working communication them more dependent. Men strive for independence through the avoidance of dependence. The similarity in the behavior of men and women is that they depend on upbringing, socialization, differences between women depend on the expectations of adults in the education of their own beliefs, conformity (device without regard to their own thoughts, leveling I own) to the social norms.





Cultural stereotypes and "symbolism" sex


The attitude of men is characterized by perseverance, self-confidence, focus on control, but to implement this men increasingly need to manage or manipulate others, thereby ensuring its independence. For women, the interdependence and interaction with the outside world is more important.





Communication style


The communication style of men of analytical and manipulative, style women more emotional.The basis of this characteristic are differences in the abilities of the spatial and mathematical knowledge. Women have a greater capacity for the acquisition of language habits. Differences in communication between men and women laid upbringing: in men encouraged the pursuit of abstraction from the world, idealization, and women are encouraged to communicate, develop relationships and attachment. Men created a clear model view, according to which to foresee and control the environment more important than interact with it.





Morality and ethics


Differences in communication relate to morality and ethics. Morality for men - it is the norms that permit any bezbarernoy to work, women bring a more personal explanation of ethics, and boundaries of own explanations of women is more flexible. Women are considered immoral behavior of someone who is indifferent, heartless, bezotvetstvennym, and men believe that intervention in someone's life is inappropriate if the person is not asked.
