Attention, do not hold the door open for a man…

Let’s assume that you walk to the office and your boss is male, is following you from behind. Attention, do not hold the door open for it to pass, why this, according to research, it is a bad idea…
Psychologists Megan McCarty and Janice Kelly of Purdue University, found that the opening of a door for a man clipping his confidence.
The scientists, in the context of their research, they asked the men of the university to stand in front of a building of the institution. Subsequently, they left some to spend and some have kept the door before they cross the threshold. Then, a deputy stopped them and asked them to answer two questions regarding their confidence, such as: “I feel that I have a number of good points as a character” and, “I can do almost everything I put target”.
Of the 221 people surveyed, 122 were women and 99 men. The men to whom they opened the door, the results of the test were disappointing, compared with those who opened themselves to the door.
The explanation given -she writes the Business Insider – is that for men it is not socially acceptable to open the door, while, according to the researchers, the kind this gesture makes them feel more vulnerable, as this is something that is done to women.
