Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Women typically place a high value on intimate relationships, so low value placed on intimate relationships is not a likely reason for higher rates of depression in women. Factors such as culturally induced dependence and passivity, sense of uncontrollability and helplessness, and self-blame for being depressed are more commonly associated with higher rates of depression in women.
