Abstract in brief

  • Women tend to use more emotion regulation strategies than men, and these strategies are similarly linked to mental health issues across genders.
  • Women’s higher use of rumination partly explains greater depression and anxiety, while men’s tendency to use alcohol as a coping mechanism partly explains higher alcohol misuse.
  • The research may overlook important aspects of how men regulate their emotions, raising questions about the full impact of gender differences on mental health.]

@Uncoveringreal @YouTube The discussion is consistent with some of the literature. For instance, a 2012 review by Susan Nolen-Hoeksema that suggests that mainstream emotion regulation research is more applicable to women than men. https://t.co/vdfRWhDaoN

It has taken me 58 years to realise that the masculine way of relating with peers when dealing with trauma is healthier than rumination that leads to depression... https://t.co/Stnu1abIq2
