Poster presented at 2014 meeting of Society for Research on Adolescence:
It is well documented that, beginning in adolescence, male and female psychopathologies follow distinct trajectories, with females exhibiting higher levels of depression and anxiety than males (Halbreich & Kahn, 2007). That stated, endorsing an item on a self administered psychiatric assessment is only as accurate as the reporting of the participant. In general, females have a more complex ability of emotional expression than males (Barrett et al., 2000). This study seeks to explore if expressed emotions plays a role in gender differences on item endorsement in the SCL90-R (Derogatis, 1983).
