This study examined sex differences in the use of coping strategies and their relationship to depression and anxiety-related psychopathology. Responses on measures of coping strategies, depression, and anxiety were obtained from a carefully screened nonclinical sample (N = 107). The results demonstrated that women who used less positive reframing had higher levels of depressive symptoms compared with women who used more positive reframing and to men irrespective of their use of more or less positive reframing. In addition, women who reported the use of more self-blame had elevated levels of trait anxiety, although a similar effect was not found for men. The observed sex differences in the use of coping strategies and their association with depression and anxiety-related problems underscores differences in the clinical presentation of anxiety and depression between women and men.
本研究考察了应对策略使用方面的性别差异及其与抑郁和焦虑相关精神病理学的关系。从经过仔细筛选的非临床样本（N = 107）中获取了应对策略、抑郁和焦虑测量指标的反应。结果表明，与使用较多积极重新评价的女性以及无论使用积极重新评价多少的男性相比，使用较少积极重新评价的女性有更高水平的抑郁症状。此外，报告使用较多自责的女性特质焦虑水平升高，尽管在男性中未发现类似效应。在应对策略使用方面观察到的性别差异及其与抑郁和焦虑相关问题的关联，凸显了男女在焦虑和抑郁临床表现上的差异。
