作者假设，具有与女性性别角色相关的特征与女性的心理困扰有关。具体来说，他们调查了 3 年后测量的 460 名中年女性在更年期过渡期和压力时期的低工具性和高表达性、私人自我意识和愤怒对抑郁症状的影响。多变量分析显示，在调整研究开始时的抑郁症状和教育水平后，三年后抑郁症状在研究开始时工具性较低和自我意识较高的女性中较高。具有自我意识的女性最容易受到随后持续的压力源的影响，而倾向于抑制愤怒情绪并在绝经后使用激素替代疗法的女性比其他女性有更多的症状。研究表明，对于具有某些女性性别角色特征的女性来说，中年可能会出现问题。
The authors hypothesized that having traits associated with the female gender role is related to psychological distress in women. Specifically, they investigated the effect of low instrumentality and high expressivity, private self-consciousness, and anger-in on depressive symptoms measured 3 years later in 460 middle-aged women during the menopausal transition and times of stress. Multivariate analyses showed that after adjustment for depressive symptoms and educational level at study entry, depressive symptomatology 3 years later was higher among women who were low in instrumentality and high in self-consciousness at study entry. Women who were self-conscious were the most vulnerable to a subsequent ongoing stressor, and women who tended to suppress angry feelings and who used hormone replacement therapy when they were postmenopausal had more symptomatology than did other women. The study shows that midlife may be problematic for women with certain female gender role traits.
