Men have become more aggressive in negotiating with women since the 2016 election, according to study from the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania.
Corinne Low, Wharton Business Economics and Public Policy professor, and doctoral student Jennie Huang didn't intend to test the effect Donald Trump's election had on the difference in men's and women's negotiating patterns when they conducted the test last fall. But that is what the data showed, the Washington Post reported.
"Not only was the communication more aggressive, it was also less effective," Low told the Post.
In a Battle of the Sexes game, 232 mostly University of Pennsylvania students were paired up, given $20 and asked to divide the money in a $15 to $5 split. If they couldn't work it out, neither would get a share, The Daily Pennsylvanian reported.
In sessions before the election, men were generally more chivalrous and less likely to use tougher strategies against their female partners. After the election, results suggested the "Trump election may have fractured community norms of civility and chiralry," the authors wrote.
"Our results are consistent with literature showing that broader political or world events can impact behavior such as generosity, fairness and reciprocity, cooperation, group bias and health insurance uptake," the authors wrote in the study paper.

Good!
Exactly!
What affects kindness, generosity, and fairness the most is a Judeo-Christian culture.

Mind your language please; there are ladies present.
Yep, there is a difference between “Aggressive” and “Assertive” or “Dominant”. I’d bet this article is grouping it all together.
How dare you come in here with your logic! You...you...you...man!

Trump caused us to lose cable reception yesterday,
At first glance I could’ve sworn this was something straight out of the onion. The media have become a parody of themselves.
American Dental Association: Tooth decay skyrocketing since Trump election.
Conference of American Podiatrists: Athlete’s foot incidence on rise since election.
PETA: Cats and dogs locked in bitter combat after Trump takes office.
Sounds like Trump’s election is leading to men treating women with more equal respect.
This is supposed to be bad?
I thought feminists opposed chivalry, anyway.
What does GMTA mean, pleawe?
I’ve noticed liberal women in particular have been a lot more vocal and harsh to guys since the election — I wonder if the study authors even THOUGHT about that possibility?
I never went to business school, so I’m speaking from almost total ignorance here.
What kind of strategies are there here? You either hold out for the $15, or you don’t. Perhaps he says, “If you let me have the $15, I’ll spend it on a date with you?”
I’d really like to know.
Indeed!

In other words: I had that same thought but I wasn’t fast enough and didn’t post my comment first, but I agree with what the other person said.
Thanks. I could use it often :)
