Yet, they have worse mental health than lower-status women.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Men do not seem to suffer similar negative mental health consequences when in powerful occupations. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mariannecooper.com\/\">Marianne Cooper<\/a>, sociologist at the <a href=\"http:\/\/gender.stanford.edu\/\">Clayman Institute for Gender Research<\/a> at Stanford University, explains:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Women leaders are viewed as being less competent than men, they\u2019re evaluated in performance reviews on personality traits while men are evaluated on accomplishments, and they\u2019re interrupted more often during team meetings. The day-to-day interactions can become tiring to deal with&#8212;it\u2019s like death by 10,000 paper cuts.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gender bias in the workplace may not be breaking news, but its negative impact on mental health among powerful women might surprise you.
