虽然以前的研究表明，网络对健康相关的结果很重要，但很少有研究调查网络效应在女性和男性之间可能存在差异的可能性。在美国样本的548飓风受害者的多变量回归分析，我们问网络的组成，密度和大小的影响是否更强烈的女性比男性的社会支持和抑郁症状的感知充分。我们发现这些调节作用的证据，密度对抑郁症状的支持充分性和大小的直接影响。我们的网络结构对抑郁症状的间接影响，通过感知充分的社会支持的途径，研究表明，性别可能会产生更大的调节作用比以前的健康研究表明。
Although previous research demonstrated that networks matter for health-related outcomes, few studies have investigated the possibility that network effects may differ between women and men. In a multivariate regression analysis of a US sample of 548 hurricane victims, we ask whether effects of network composition, density, and size affect perceived adequacy of social support and depressive symptoms more strongly among women than among men. We find evidence for these moderating effects, for direct effects of density on support adequacy and size on depressive symptoms. Our examination of indirect effects of network structure on depressive symptoms, in the pathway through perceived adequacy of social support, suggests that gender may exert more substantial moderating effects than previous health studies suggest.
