Lucian and Andrea had a big argument on Sunday night. Given the research described in the text, who is more likely to have a bad day at work on Monday, and why?

B) Lucian, because men are socialized to be more aggressive in response to relationship problems than women, and this aggression will manifest itself at work
C) Andrea, because women are socialized to invest more of their identities in family, and thus she will be more affected at work by problems at home than Lucian
D) Andrea, because men typically do not shield their wives from stress at home, and thus women experience greater stress spillover from home to work
