Workplace Anger Costs Women Irrespective of Race.

The current research investigated the role that a person's race, gender, and emotional expressions play in workplace evaluations of their competence and status.

Workplace sanctions against angry women are often attributed to a backlash resulting from the violation of gender stereotypes.

Misremembering pain: A memory blindness approach to adding a better end.

How people remember feeling in the past informs future decisions; however, memory for past emotion is subject to a number of biases. Previous research on choice blindness has shown that people often fail to notice when they are exposed to misinformation about their own decisions, preferences, and memories. This type of misinformation can influence how they later remember past events.

We examined whether people would detect alterations to their own memory reports, and whether such alterations could influence participants' memories.
