Abstract

Research supports an interaction of biological and sociocultural factors to account for why women live longer than men. This study investigated whether men and women of college age have similar attributions for this difference in longevity. Responses to an open-ended questionnaire by 507 college aged students confirmed a significant gender difference in attribution of life expectancy. Young men attributed such differences to greater physical labor of men and the less stressful life of women. Young women, in contrast, thought women took better care of their health.

摘要

研究支持生物因素和社会文化因素相互作用来解释女性为何比男性寿命更长。本研究调查了大学年龄段的男性和女性对于这种寿命差异是否有相似的归因。507名大学年龄段学生对一份开放式问卷的回答证实了在预期寿命归因方面存在显著的性别差异。年轻男性将这种差异归因于男性更多的体力劳动和女性压力较小的生活。相比之下，年轻女性认为女性更注重自身健康。
