2012 Measurment of Gender Emotional Responses (Davis et.al)

"Women recover from autonomic arousal slower than Men (Sapolsky 2005)"

"Women appear to be more anxious than men (McLean and Anderson 2009)"

Psychologist Al Siebert studied the mindsets of true survivors and described the characteristics of resilient people in his book The Survivor Personality (2010)

"According to the American Psychiatric Association (2013) women suffer from major depressive disorders up to three times as often as men. Women also suffer social anxiety, panic disorder, agoraphobia, and generalized anxiety disorder twice as often as men."

“One study that looked at the effect of wives’ depression on marriage found greater marital distress, more destructive conflict-resolution tactics, and fewer constructive tactics among depressed women. The women in these marriages were more likely to have been previously divorced, more likely to express regret about marrying their current husbands, and they were less affectionate toward their husbands (Coyne, Thompson, and Palmer 2002).”

“Substance abuse isn’t merely correlated with increased divorce risk, it causes divorce (Collins, Ellickson, and Klein, 2007).”

Women’s substance abuse statistics APA (2013)

“Women are also quicker to become addicted to alcohol, pot, and opiates like heroin (Greenfield 2010)”

“Heavy pot use lowers IQ (Meier et al. 2012); it damages memory (Solowij and Battisti 2008); it impairs decision-making (Tamm et al. 2013); it devastates motivation (Treadway et al. 2012; Smirnov and Kiyatkin 2008; Bloomfield et al. 2014); and it increases anxiety (Zvolensky et al. 2008).”

“One extensive study estimated that approximately 7 percent of middle-aged adults suffer from at least one category of personality disorder (Oltmanns et al. 2014). Other estimates run as high as 9.1 percent of the adult population (Lenzenweger et al. 2007).”

"Personality disorders you should know about. The figures in this list are from the American Psychiatric Association (2013).”
