在西方化的发达社会中，抑郁症的性别差异得到了很好的记录，尽管关于这一主题的跨文化定量研究很少。在这项研究中，我们使用来自世界价值观调查的数据，使用多水平Logit模型来检查29个国家的抑郁症患者的性别差异。我们发现，没有哪个国家的男性比女性更容易患抑郁症。我们还发现，尽管低性别公平国家的抑郁水平更高，但在高性别公平国家，抑郁的性别差距更大。
The sex difference in depression is well documented in westernized, developed societies, although there has been little quantitative cross-cultural research on the topic. In this study, we use multilevel logit models to examine sex differences in depression across 29 countries using data from the World Values Survey. We find that in no country are males more likely to be depressed than females. We also find that while levels of depression are higher in low gender equity countries, the gender gap in depression is larger in high gender equity countries.
