Self-administered the Beck Depression Inventory and a demographic questionnaire anonymously to 275 adults, 105 males and 170 females, in an extension of the self-report technique previously used with university students. Neither sex-ratio nor gender differences in depression were found, similar to the pattern found among university students. No demographic variable was correlated significantly with depression. The present findings are considered in terms of methodological differences between studies. It is concluded that the lack of sex-ratio and gender differences is explained best by the fact that the present methodology eliminated face-to-face interviews, which may expose males to greater negative repercussions for exhibiting depressed behavior.
在之前用于大学生的自我报告技术的扩展研究中，对275名成年人（105名男性和170名女性）匿名进行了贝克抑郁量表和人口统计学调查问卷的自我施测。未发现抑郁方面的性别比例差异和性别差异，这与在大学生中发现的模式相似。没有人口统计学变量与抑郁显著相关。根据研究之间的方法学差异对当前研究结果进行了考量。得出的结论是，缺乏性别比例差异和性别差异的最佳解释是，当前的方法消除了面对面访谈，而面对面访谈可能会使男性因表现出抑郁行为而受到更大的负面影响。
