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. | 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).

Another Dutch study by Van Tilburg (2002) 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. | Another Dutch study by Van Tilburg (2002) 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. Males, on the other hand, see a steady maturation in crying behavior in their adolescence. | ||
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). | Sex differences in adult crying are cross culturally robust.
