Frey (1983) conducted an experiment in which he let the subjects (286 females and 45 males, aged 18–75 yrs) count their crying episodes over the time period of over 30 days. | Frey (1983) conducted an experiment in which he let the subjects (286 females and 45 males, aged 18–75 yrs) count their crying episodes over the time period of over 30 days. They found women to cry 5.3±5.07 times per month and men only 1.4±2.68 (a sex ratio of 3.79). They did not find significant differences between students and other groups. | ||
Kraemer (1986) found even larger sex differences with female students aged around 22 crying crying seven times as often as their male counterparts. | |||
Lutz (2001) summarized that when women cry, they also cry more intensely and their crying episodes last about twice as long as men's. Crying turns into sobbing for women in 65% of cases, compared to just 6% for men (d ≈ 1.9), so the sex ratio of intensity of neuroticism integrated over time may as well be around 10. | |||
A study of 97 Dutch female psychology students, who also kept a mood and crying diary throughout two full menstrual cycles (~2 months), obtained findings nearly identical to the Frey's sample (Bylsma et al., 2011). They found an average of 10.3 crying episodes, with a range of 1–53, so about 5.15 episodes per month. | |||
Another Dutch study of adolescents found 11 to 12 year old girls to cry around 4.2 times per month, which is comparable to crying rates of adult women. This suggests that women arrest in their emotional development in their early teens. | |||
Sex differences in adult crying are cross culturally robust. Hemert, Vingerhoets and colleges (2011) interviewed 5000 people (predominantly students) from 37 countries about their emotional reactions. He discovered that women cries between 30 and 64 times a year, while men cry between 6 and 17 times, so a sex ratio of 3.5 to 5. Cultural differences were consistently smaller than sex difference, and the difference is cross-culturally large (d = 1.0), with only Nepal, Nigeria not showing significant differences, which may be attributable to small sample sizes. The gender differences in adult crying also persisted despite changing gender role expectations between 1981 and 1996. Female neuroticism is also strongly influenced by gender-specific hormones, so the difference is mostly of biological origin (Lombardo, 2001). | |||
Anne Kreamer and Mark Truss, JWT’s director of brand intelligence, conducted two national surveys on "Emotional Incidents in the Workplace Survey", ages 18-64. N = 701, in Spring 2009, published in Kraemer (2011). They found women under 45 are ''ten times'' more likely to cry at work than men 45 and older. Also, in 12 months, 41 percent of women cried at work, but only 9 percent of men, so 4.5 as likely to cry at workplace than men across all age groups. | |||
Lombardo (1983) found women state they would cry in frightening situations ~60 times as likely as men (.4% vs 19.8%). | |||
Vingerhoets (2009) found women are more likely cry due to conflict (23% vs 14%), men more due to positive appraisals (17% vs 7%) and loss (29% vs 24%). | |||
Buss (1987) found women use crying to manipulate their partners more often than males ([item "He or she whines until I do it", t(90) = 2.82, p < .006, d ≈ 0.6]). | |||
