Psychology Month: Anxiety, gender, and leadership with Dr. Winny Shen

There has always been a stereotype that women are "more emotional" than men, and even that they are "too emotional" for leadership roles. Dr. Winny Shen joins Mind Full to discuss the results of her study which suggest that not only is that stereotype untrue, the exact opposite might actually be the case.
