Effect of employee gender and behavioral style on the evaluations of male and female banking executives.

62 male and 60 female banking executives read a scenario describing a male or female banking manager who coped with a job-related conflict situation in either an unemotional, calm manner or an emotional, angry manner. Unemotional, calm behavior was evaluated as more effective and appropriate than emotional, angry behavior. However, an emotional, angry woman was evaluated more favorably than her male counterpart.
