Study Shows How Men And Women Use News Media Differently To Manage Anger
When men and women are angry, they both choose the news media articles they read with the goal of regulating their moods, a new study suggests.

Women faced with the same situation, however, chose to read more positive news to help dissipate their anger before a possible confrontation.
