The relationships among gender, personality traits, & symptoms of depression are examined using data from questionnaires administered to 360 residents of the Oklahoma City, Okla, metropolitan area.

Low masculinity, high femininity, having a child in the home, & single status predict depression for men. Youth, low education, low masculinity, & single status predict depression for women.
