Stress Levels

I’m interested in doing a study on men and women to see who has better coping skills when it comes to stress.  I brought this up with a few of my coworkers today.  We are in the middle of layoffs and have seen everything from women losing it in the general managers office to men crying over being laid off.  Of course the news would be hard to take but which sex seems to deal better with stress.

The conclusion I came to suggests that neither one sex has better coping mechanisms.  It’s all in the personality of the person.  We all know that everyone is unique and everyone has their own unique ways of dealing with life.  The ups and downs may effect one person completely different than another.
