Y1 - 2021 N1 - T2 - Emotion in the Clinical Encounter AB - Women and men differ in how they feel, express, and manage emotions,1 and these gender differences also affect clinical practice. Female physicians expressing concern, being considerate, and talking about feelings with patients do not get the same credit for their patient-centered communication as do male physicians.2 Female patients expressing fear are less likely to obtain the necessary treatment for anxiety disorder because they are perceived as “hysterical.”3 A priori assumptions, often unconscious, such as implicit stereotypes affect how we treat women and men and such stereotypes also affect social interactions in the medical domain. While missing an emotional cue in an interaction at work (e.g., not noticing that my colleague is sad) might not hamper work performance much, missing emotional cues in patients might have detrimental effects (e.g., missing cues of sadness or despair resulting in a patient’s suicide).
