"Disagreeable Men Earn More Than Nice Guys

People who are disagreeable earn more than people who are agreeable, and the gap is biggest among men, according to an analysis of four surveys spanning almost 20 years. Men who are significantly less agreeable than average earn 18.3% more than men who are significantly more agreeable than average, while the comparable figure for women is 5.47%, says the study, led by Beth A. Livingston of Cornell and presented at a recent meeting of the Academy of Management. Men's disagreeable behavior "conforms to expectations of 'masculine' behavior," the authors say."
