This study examines the relationship between gender and distress among a sample of never married and married individuals aged 18-64 years from the 1987-88 National Survey of Families and Households. The hypothesis that singlehood benefits women more than men in terms of economic and psychosocial resources, which then translate into lower levels of distress, was not completely supported. In general, single women and men appear more similar than different in resources, although gender differences in distress vary by age. The importance of recognizing conceptual distinctions among the single is discussed.
本研究考察了1987 - 1988年全国家庭与住户调查中年龄在18 - 64岁的未婚和已婚个体样本中性别与苦恼之间的关系。关于单身在经济和心理社会资源方面对女性的益处多于男性，进而导致苦恼程度较低的假设，并未得到完全支持。总体而言，单身女性和男性在资源方面似乎相似之处多于不同之处，尽管苦恼方面的性别差异因年龄而异。文中讨论了认识单身群体中概念差异的重要性。
