“…After a partner's infidelity, women are more likely than men to feel depressed, disappointed, anxious, helpless/abandoned, and undesirable/insecure (Shackelford et al, 2000;Sweeney & Horwitz, 2001). Men are less likely to react emotionally, potentially due to gendered expectations that men should not express their emotions (Baum, 2003). Moreover, women may have more emotional responses to infidelity because their selfconstrual and identity are often formed by social relationships, including their romantic relationships (Cross & Madson, 1997).…”

Guided by transactional stress theory, this research investigated the role of appraisals in noninvolved partners’ mental health and health-compromising behaviors after infidelity. Responses from 232 college students who were recently cheated on revealed that negative appraisals (partner blame, self-blame, and causal attribution) had indirect effects on health-compromising behaviors through mental health (depression, anxiety, and distress). Moderated mediation analyses revealed that gender altered the indirect effect of partner and self-blame on health-compromising behaviors through mental health. Men’s health-compromising behaviors did not differ based on their appraisals or mental health. However, women who reported negative appraisals and high levels of mental health consequences engaged in more health-compromising behaviors. These findings suggest that perceptions of a partner’s infidelity are important, and that those perceptions affect noninvolved partners’ mental health and physical health behaviors.

“…Postbereavement couples, it appears, face a difficult decision regarding when to make their dating public, a dilemma that is greatly enhanced by the grief literature, which suggests that ways of mourning might differ based on whether the loss was expected or unexpected (Baum, 2003;Brimhall & Engblom-Deglmann, 2011). Expected loss might lead people to mourn the loss before it actually occurs.…”

“…After experiencing a major loss, most adults instinctively look for support from other caring adults within their network (Anderson & Greene, 2013). This dilemma is enhanced by the fact that when seeking support, unique gender differences can exist, with men commonly seeking out new relationships to dispel loneliness (Baum, 2003;Davidson, 2002). Whereas some women might fear the impending responsibility of caring for another adult, and therefore avoid future relationships, others might seek a relationship for financial stability (Anderson & Greene, 2013;Ganong & Coleman, 2004).…”

Following the interviews of 24 participants concerning the death of their spouse and subsequent remarriage, a pattern of unsolicited responses concerning perceived acceptance of family emerged. Through grounded theory qualitative analysis, a continuum of acceptance was developed ranging from welcoming acceptance to active disapproval. Themes that influenced the perceived level of acceptance were (a) the length of time between death and courtship; (b) the length of the courtship itself; and (c) the level of family involvement in the courtship. Findings support and enhance current literature on remarital adjustment, suggesting it is critical to not only include children, but also the extended family in which the family resides. Provisional hypotheses and clinical implications are provided to help clinicians navigate these complex family dynamics and potentially increase family support.

“…The purpose of this paper is to advocate for gender-sensitive practice for men in our efforts to address behavioral health issues. Research over the years has shown that men have unique problems and needs, as well as distinctive way of showing that they are experiencing distress (e.g., Baum, 2003). In order to best address these special needs of men in distress it seems necessary to develop and implement a form of practice that is sensitive to the special issues that men bring to the helping process.…”
