“…In particular, gender and grade interacted to predict levels of corumination, such that co-rumination increased with age among females, but not among males. These results parallel the emergence of gender differences in depression and anxiety (Clark and Ayers 1993;Clark and Bittle 1992;Kessler et al 1993;Weissman and Klerman 1977). Specifically, boys and girls endorse similar levels of depressive and anxious symptomatology until adolescence when females' risk for depression and anxiety increases while males' risk remains the same.…”

Rose (Child Dev 73:1830-1843, 2002 found evidence that co-rumination accounts for girls' greater emotional distress as well as their greater friendship satisfaction compared to boys. Co-rumination is defined as a passive, repetitive discussion of symptoms or problems with a close other. The present study explored the associations between corumination in various types of close relationships and both emotional distress and relationship satisfaction in college students. First, confirmatory factor analyses demonstrated that co-rumination is distinct from depressive rumination. Further, co-rumination with one's closest friend mediated the relationship between gender and both depressive symptoms and friendship satisfaction. Specifically, females reported higher levels of co-rumination with their closest friend, which in turn, predicted their higher levels of depressive symptomatology and friendship satisfaction. In contrast, there were no gender differences in co-rumination in other close relationships, and for the most part, co-rumination in these relationships was not associated with gender differences in emotional distress or relationship satisfaction. Therefore, corumination in close friendships may be particularly important in understanding the higher levels of both depression and relationship satisfaction among females compared to males.

“…Data seem to suggest that the move away from parents in a way similar to an emotional detachment may be particularly critical for males during adolescence. We might read it in the light of literature that underlines that girls report higher levels of empathic concern and emotional support from friendships than boys (Clark and Ayers 1993): we may hypothesize that emotional detachment from parents during adolescence represents a condition that drives to self-destructive thoughts for boys but not for girls, who seem more able to rely on peer support (Moller et al 1992).…”

We examined the relations between depression, emotional autonomy quality-related constructs of separation and detachment, and suicidal ideation, focusing on the unique and common contribution that depression, separation and detachment made to suicidal ideation. We also examined gender differences. 403 adolescents, 196 boys and 207 girls, completed self-report measures of depression, separation and detachment, and suicidal ideation. The data showed a significant relation between depression and suicidal ideation both for boys and girls, and between detachment and suicidal ideation only for boys. Results for boys supported an additive model such that depression and detachment each contributed unique variance to boys' suicidal ideation, and an interactive model such that detachment contributed to exacerbate the risk of suicidal ideation when boys were already at risk because of depression. The data for girls supported an interactive, but not additive, model such that depression and detachment did not contribute independently to girls' suicidal ideation but in a joint way.

“…Whereas female peer groups emphasize common interests, similar moral values, increased intimacy, and self-disclosure, male peer groups are based on shared activities, such as sports [13]. Because boys tend to interact in larger groups, it is likely that males are more accustomed to interacting with peers who have values and beliefs that differ from their own.…”
