Studies have consistently shown that women tend to rely more on social support as a coping mechanism for stress than men. Women often have larger social support networks and are more likely to seek out and engage in social support activities such as talking with friends or family members, participating in support groups, or seeking professional help. This may be due in part to cultural norms that encourage women to express emotion and seek out social support, while men may feel pressure to mask their emotions and go it alone.
