摘要
Multiple samples of male and female college students were studied to determine the relationship of sex and degree of masculinity-femininity to frequency of symptom reports, symptom site, frequency of medical treatment, and attitudes toward various aspects of the medical establishment. The results indicated that sex and sex role are not consistently or strongly correlated with total symptom frequency, delay in seeking medical consultation, or frequency with which medical treatment is obtained. They are also not correlated with attitudes toward physicians and other health care figures. However, interesting and rather consistent relationships were observed between masculinity-femininity and sites of somatic discomfort. © 1979 Plenum Publishing Corporation.
