研究表明，女性寻求，更喜欢，更容易接受情感支持（鼓励），男性寻求，更喜欢，更容易接受工具支持（解决问题）。因此，我们假设，男孩会表现出较低的血压（BP）反应，在响应工具比情绪或没有支持，和女孩会表现出较低的BP反应，在响应情绪比工具或没有支持。48名健康的非洲裔美国青少年（50%男性）参加了角色扮演冲突任务，并随机接受情感，工具，或没有支持（仅存在）的同盟。男孩表现出较低的收缩压（SBP）反应性的工具比在情绪或没有支持的条件下和较低的恢复SBP相比，男孩的情绪或没有支持的条件。舒张压（DBP）反应性也显示出类似的结果模式。然而，女孩，并没有表现出较低的BP反应，在响应情绪相比，仪器的支持。这些研究结果表明，工具和情感的支持差异影响心血管（CV）的反应，在非洲裔美国男孩与女孩。
Research suggests that females seek out, prefer, and are more receptive to emotional support (encouragement), and that males seek out, prefer, and are more receptive to instrumental support (problem-solving). Thus, we hypothesized that boys would show lower blood pressure (BP) reactivity in response to instrumental than emotional or no support, and that girls would show lower BP reactivity in response to emotional than instrumental or no support. Forty-eight healthy African-American adolescents (50% males) participated in a role play conflict task and were randomized to receive either emotional, instrumental, or no support (presence only) from a confederate. Boys showed lower systolic blood pressure (SBP) reactivity in the instrumental than in the emotional or no support conditions and lower recovery SBP as compared to boys in the emotional or no support conditions. A similar pattern of results was demonstrated for diastolic blood pressure (DBP) reactivity. Girls, however, did not demonstrate lower BP reactivity in response to emotional as compared to instrumental support. These findings suggest that instrumental and emotional support differentially influence cardiovascular (CV) reactivity in African-American boys versus girls.
