In some research we’ve conducted, we’ve found that the negative effects of
agreeableness in earnings is stronger for men than for women (that is being
agreeable hurt men’s earnings more than women’s). Why do you think this might be
the case?

potentially lower earning. Agreeableness on earnings is
stronger for men than for women , cause men are more
physically , mentally stronger than women . Again,
