本文以166对已婚夫妇为样本，通过评估男性和女性日常压力源和心理困扰的经历，探讨了心理困扰的性别差异。在42天的时间里，受访者每天都要完成一个结构化的日记。结果表明，妇女报告的高患病率的高苦恼天和较低的患病率的无苦恼天比男性。日常痛苦的性别差异主要归因于女性经历更多的痛苦发作，而不是更有可能继续在一个痛苦的状态，从一天到随后的日子。分层线性模型（HLM）的结果表明，显着的性别差异减少后，受访者的日常压力因素考虑。这些研究结果的性别角色和反刍理论的影响进行了讨论。
This article examines gender differences in psychological distress by assessing men's and women's experience of daily stressors and psychological distress in a sample of 166 married couples. Respondents completed a structured daily diary each day over the course of 42 days. Results showed that women reported a higher prevalence of high distress days and a lower prevalence of distress-free days than men. Gender differences in daily distress were attributable largely to women experiencing more onsets of distress episodes rather than being more likely to continue in a distress state from one day to subsequent days. Results from hierarchical linear models (HLM) indicated that the significant gender differences diminished after respondents' daily stressors were taken into account. Implications of these findings for gender role and rumination theories are discussed.
