Arrow Article: Anxiety Disorders Diagnosed More Often in Women Than Men

Quote:
Susan Nolen-Hoeksema, chair of the department of psychology at Yale, says one reason women are more anxious is that they tend to take responsibility for other peoples’ happiness, especially their children’s and spouse’s. “It’s kind of a Catch-22, because they can’t always do anything about them,” says Dr. Nolen-Hoeksema, author of “The Power of Women” and other books.

Women also seem to have a more active “uh oh” signal in the brain that registers when they know they’ve made a mistake, according to a study published this month in the International Journal of Psychophysiology.

I am not to sure what to think of this.
Perhaps there is a biological difference between me and women or perhaps the study was flawed or otherwise incomplete.
