“…In contrast, boys are expected to act more independently and competitively. Similar socialization differences by gender have been reported in other Western countries (e.g., Matud et al 2003). Given this type of gender socialization, one would expect girls to be less involved in conflicts and manifest greater compliance than boys.…”

The study examined whether the Power Interaction Model is applicable for explaining the choice of power tactics in conflict situations among Israeli married couples. In addition, gender role ideology was tested as a moderator of the relationship between power usage and marital satisfaction. Seventy-eight couples reported on self usage and spouse's usage of power tactic behaviors during conflicts and completed questionnaires assessing marital satisfaction, gender role ideology (traditional, liberal) and demographics. Findings indicated greater agreement within couples for harsh rather than for soft tactic preference. As expected, preference for harsh tactics was associated with lower marital satisfaction yet gender role ideology moderated this association. The role of conflict and power usage in traditional and liberal families was addressed.

“…Women are more likely to seek and report more support than do men when they are experiencing stress (Landman-Peeters et al, 2005). Findings indicate that greater perceived support among women can be explained by more frequent contact with network members and a tendency to have relationships characterized by greater intimacy, emotional disclosure and empathy (Matud et al, 2003;Turner, 1994). However, another study indicated that it is gender rather than sex that is significantly correlated with patterns of social support (Reevy and Maslach, 2001).…”

“…Several studies have described a greater tendency for women to seek emotional support, especially when under stress (Ashton and Fuehrer 1993;Flaherty and Richman 1989;Frydenberg and Lewis 1993;Miller and Neaigus 2001;Taylor et al 2000), be more reliant on informal sources of support (Turner et al 1998), and seek more diverse sources of support (Matud et al 2003). Women often report greater numbers of close relationships (Fuhrer et al 1999) and larger social networks than men (Ashton and Fuehrer 1993).…”

Gender, Drug Use, and Perceived Social Support Among HIV Positive Patients

2007

We investigated the relationships among gender, drug use, and perceived social support in 176 HIV positive patients recruited with their informal caregivers in HIV clinics. Perceived caregiver support, emotional support, tangible support, and conflict were assessed. Current drug use was defined as heroin and/or cocaine use within 6 months prior to baseline. Gender was not significantly associated with any of the four outcomes. Current drug users reported significantly higher conflict in social relationships than nonusers, but was not significantly associated with the other three outcomes. However, significant heroin/cocaine use by gender interactions were observed; specifically, the negative associations between current drug use and perceived caregiver and emotional support were stronger among females than males. We concluded that recent heroin/cocaine use may be associated with dissatisfaction in perceived social support from most sources, with the strongest relationships amongst drug using females.
