The results showed that mothers reported experiencing more positive emotional states when away from home (including at work), whereas fathers showed the reverse pattern.

I think that it's interesting how strong this generalization of values is. I get that different regions have different characteristics, but it seems very bold to assume that everyone from the south values/believes one thing, and everyone from the north values/believes another.

-
Although you’re probably right that you will feel negative (and not positive) emotions, will you be able to accurately estimate how negative you’ll feel? What about how long those negative feelings will last?
This reminds me of thinking you'll "get over something" but it sticks with you

, the self may be seen as a social actor, who enacts roles and displays traits by performing behaviors in the presence of others
I think that although it is important to stay true to yourself, being a "social actor" isn't always a bad thing.

For example, it is almost necessary that we act differently around our teacher than we do around our friends, or our parents, or our doctors, etc.
