Most people will drink coffee to cope with stress in the workplace. However, new research suggests this effect will be more influential in women than in men.
According to research published in the Journal of Applied Social Psychology, women who drank caffeinated coffee will be able to perform better even in stressful situations, compared to men.
The study, led by Dr Lindsay St Claire, a lecturer at the University of Bristol, this test whether the consumption of caffeine may aggravate stress and interfere with the performance of the team or vice versa.
The study was conducted by testing 64 people consisting of men and women, average age 22 years. In the study, they were asked to solve various puzzles, memory task collaboration and negotiation with same-sex couples, either after drinking caffeinated and decaffeinated coffee. After drinking caffeinated coffee, turns out a woman's ability to solve the puzzle 100 seconds faster than men's, quoted from page Aol. Next, the researchers theorize that when under stress, men tend to behave more aggressively, on the contrary women are more likely to collaborate.
Dr. Eric Braverman, director of PATH Medical in New York and author of "Younger (sexier) You 'say," Caffeine raises dopamine and can help you meet the needs in stressful situations, "he said.
But is it really can help women better cope with stress than men, says Braverman, entirely dependent on a group of people studied. Braverman said that women usually do not handle stress like most men, especially middle-aged women or older. He added that at this age, women lose bone mass and muscle mass, which helps overcome the strength of skills in the brain.
