Japanese Men Are Afraid Of Superiors And Women Are Afraid Of Colleagues.

Japanese men are afraid of their superiors and women are afraid of coworkers. Recently, a survey from Japan found that the biggest pressure of adult men came from their superiors, followed by colleagues. The biggest pressure of adult women was their colleagues, followed by their superiors. Men and women preferred to work in the most pressing cases, but the second were different, men were social and women were family.

This result reflects the social and cultural characteristics of Japan from one aspect.

Since the publication of the American monograph "chrysanthemum and knives" by American anthropologist Benedict, there has been a lot of research on Japanese national character.

In these studies, there is a basic consensus that the Japanese are fully committed to the spirit of doing their best and doing anything, which is one of the secrets of their economic and social development.

In the process of development, the pace of life of Japanese nationals is getting faster and faster, and their demands for jobs are getting higher and higher. The strings of work are always stretched. Especially during the economic downturn, this situation can also aggravate, because the anxiety, depression and even suicidal phenomena caused by work stress are common in Japan.

In addition, the Japanese society has a clear relationship between the upper and lower levels, and there is a clear division of roles between the two sexes. Such cooperation helps to improve work efficiency, and most people agree with this relationship and division of labor.

In Japanese workplaces, the role of men is mainly to complete the tasks assigned by their superiors, followed by coordinating colleagues to achieve group goals, while women's role requirements are primarily coordinated with colleagues, becoming collective lubricants, and secondly, dealing with the relationship with the boss and completing the corresponding tasks.

But men also need a lot of social interaction outside their work. Therefore, we often see in films and TV shows that most male workers in Japan go to the pub after work, on the one hand, temporarily relieve the pressure, and more importantly, further straighten out and strengthen interpersonal relationships. Most women go home to do housework, take care of the elderly and children after work.

In the face of pressure, the attitude of Chinese men and women is different from that of Japan.

Chinese women are more stressed than men. Beijing zero survey company has conducted an online survey of 415 white-collar white-collar workers in Beijing, and found that people who work under high pressure account for 41.1% of the total number of respondents, two times the number of white-collar workers with less working pressure (20%).

Among them, men and women feel the same about work stress, but the physical and mental fatigue of women is much higher than that of men.

The researchers believe that this may be related to more female family pressure, and the natural reaction of women facing pressure and the lack of positive means of evacuation pressure.

Of course, this result is not the same as that in Japan, but also related to the different cultural characteristics of the two countries.

The American study thinks that there are physiological reasons, so why do men and women behave differently in the face of stress?

In the first half of this year, a study published in the journal Psychological Review of the American Psychological Association pointed out that to what extent people react to stress depends to a certain extent on the sex of the client, specifically the oxytocin number.

The report summarizes several hundred studies on human and animal behavior in recent years, and draws a conclusion that the reason for the difference in pressure response between men and women is probably in oxytocin.

Oxytocin is an emotional modulator that relieves anxiety and depression.

Both men and women contain oxytocin, but the content of women is higher.

This leads to a response that women describe under pressure as "care and friendliness" under pressure, which means they are more likely to seek support from friends and families.

According to Dr. Klein of Penn State University, women are more likely to protect and care for their children when they are under pressure, or seek comfort from relatives and friends.

Men are more likely to show a "fight or flight" reaction.

In the face of stress, men are either angry or evasive.

This may be due to the high levels of testosterone in their bodies.

Dr Klein and his colleagues found that the level of testosterone in men increased with stress.

At the same time, men suffer from stress-related diseases, such as high blood pressure and heavy drinking.

Therefore, researchers speculate that the way women face stress is more likely to have a protective effect on the body and is conducive to longevity.

In the process of rapid economic development, national pressure will increase in almost all countries.

People do not have to panic and intolerable.

Pressure ultimately acts on the human body and needs to be perceived, understood and judged through the brain first.

Therefore, individuals are still an effective valve to control pressure.

When the outside pressure is too high, you can choose to leave for a period of time to make adjustments.

If you are not allowed to leave, there are many ways of self adjustment.

These methods involve diet, exercise, sleep, beauty, interpersonal relationships and other aspects of almost every aspect of life.

For example, food decompression method, eat more calcium and vitamin C food, spicy dishes; music catharsis method, listen to music adapted to a certain mood, sing Cara OK; interpersonal interaction method, for example, pour out, play cards, reunion; sports leisure law, play favorite items, engage in some exciting sports, vent their depression; even watch horror films, smell, smell, pet and so on, are good ways.
