A recent study reported by UPI reveals a striking — yet hopeful — finding: as women move through middle age and beyond, many become significantly better at controlling anger, even if they still feel it more intensely. For women in New Jersey, this means anger-management training can improve not only court outcomes, but everyday life.
According to researchers at The Menopause Society, both chronological age and reproductive-aging stages make a difference: while feelings of anger may remain, or even intensify, older women tend to express anger less aggressively or violently; they develop stronger emotional regulation and healthier responses. :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}
What the Research Found — and Why It Matters
- Less aggressive expression over time: Measures of hostile reactions, aggressive outbursts, and angry temperament all decreased significantly with age. :contentReference[oaicite:4]{index=4}
- Better emotion regulation skills: As women age, many learn to handle anger internally — using reflection, boundary-setting, and de-escalation — rather than reacting impulsively. :contentReference[oaicite:5]{index=5}
- Improved mental and physical well-being: Several earlier studies connected frequent uncontrolled anger with higher risks for hypertension, depression, and heart disease. This new data suggests that better regulation may help reduce those long-term risks. :contentReference[oaicite:6]{index=6}
