Are women really more emotionally intelligent than men?

According to a major new study, the answer isn't as straightforward as many of us might assume.

Researchers, including Professor of Leadership Jochen Menges of Cambridge Judge Business School and the University of Zurich, analysed more than 600,000 people across 76 countries and found that emotional intelligence isn't a single skill. Differences vary depending on whether we're talking about recognising emotions, understanding them, or managing them.

The findings challenge some long-held stereotypes and reveal a far more nuanced picture of emotional intelligence than the headlines often suggest.

What happens when decades of experience meet the digital world of freelance work?

As more professionals seek flexibility later in their careers, freelancing can seem like the ideal next step.

But new research co-authored at Cambridge Judge Business School finds that later-career professionals face a “cold start” problem because their professional reputation, built over decades, doesn't automatically transfer into the platform environment.

Platforms use totally different ways of assessing value and credibility.

The result? An experience which can be emotionally difficult and identity-threatening.

The solution? The study recommends workers should do more than just learn platform mechanics - a total recalibration of your motivations and sense of professional worth is required.

Why do so many Cambridge Judge students' stories involve stepping outside their original field?

It's because the most interesting questions rarely stay inside a single discipline.

In recent blog posts, an art market specialist asks questions about technology, markets and human behaviour. A climate finance practitioner explores the challenges of turning local climate needs into investable projects. A finance professional discovers entrepreneurship through acquisition.

Different programmes, different sectors, different starting points, but one common thread: curiosity.

Cambridge has a habit of broadening the conversation. The questions that begin in one discipline are challenged, refined and expanded by people from another, often revealing new connections and insights.

That's when curiosity becomes something more than an interest. It becomes a new way of seeing the bigger picture.

• Amandla Uzoka-Jarrett on finance and the United Nations

Every summer there comes a point when preparations for the new academic year gather pace and the new students' arrivals are imminent.

Looking back through photos of previous early term days for new cohorts, we're always struck by the same thing: the sense of energy and possibility, obvious in their faces.

People arrive in Cambridge from different places, at different stages of life and career, not yet knowing the friendships they'll make, the conversations they'll have, or where their experience will take them. It's our favourite time of year.

What can prison officers teach us about judgment?

In a study based on 12 months of ethnographic research inside an English prison, Cambridge Judge PhD graduates Adrian Marrison and Jaco Lok, together with Professor Mark de Rond, explored how experienced prison officers prevent violence before it occurs.

Their research centres on what officers call jailcraft: the ability to sense subtle shifts in atmosphere that may signal rising tension.

The researchers found that prison officers engage in three forms of 'atmospheric work':

• sensing early signs of tension
• amplifying tension when greater control is needed
• dampening tension when violence appears imminent

Much of this expertise is difficult to describe and even harder to measure. Experienced officers learn to notice changes in mood, behaviour and interaction that may be invisible to outsiders.

The study argues that security is not simply about responding to incidents. It depends on people's ability to read and shape the atmosphere around them in real time.

The setting is prison, but the broader insight is clear: good judgment often begins before a problem becomes visible.
