We examined for sex differences in possible risk factors for depression, manifestations of depression and associated help-seeking and coping styles in a socially homogeneous cohort without any sex difference in lifetime rates of depression. The sexes did not differ on measures of depression, dysfunctional attitudes, perception of important interpersonal relationships, experience or perceived impact of life events. Women scored more highly on measures of neuroticism, were more dependent and were more likely to engage in self-consoling behaviours and coping styles. Recklessness as a coping style was the only item endorsed more frequently by men, posing the question of whether current measures take into consideration the male experience of depression. The findings suggest that many putative depressiogenic risk factors over-represented in women do not, by themselves, create depression but require a triggering factor or certain social conditions for their expression.
我们在一个社会同质化队列中研究了抑郁症可能的风险因素、抑郁症表现以及相关的求助和应对方式中的性别差异，该队列在抑郁症终生患病率上不存在任何性别差异。在抑郁症、功能失调性态度、对重要人际关系的认知、生活事件的经历或感知影响等测量指标上，两性没有差异。女性在神经质测量指标上得分更高，更具依赖性，更有可能采取自我安慰行为和应对方式。鲁莽作为一种应对方式是男性更常认可的唯一一项，这就提出了一个问题，即当前的测量方法是否考虑到了男性的抑郁经历。研究结果表明，许多在女性中过度呈现的假定致抑郁风险因素本身并不会导致抑郁症，而是需要一个触发因素或特定的社会条件才能表现出来。
