A new study published in the journal Academy of Management Perspectives finds that workplace spats between two women are judged to have more negative consequences than conflicts between two men or one woman and one man. For the study, researchers gave participants one of three conflict scenarios that were all identical except for the names of the people involved. The participants were then asked to judge the likelihood that these individuals would be able to repair the relationship and whether they thought it would lead to decreased job satisfaction. The results revealed that overall, participants thought that two women fighting would be 15-percent less likely to repair their relationship than either a woman and a man fighting or two men fighting.
