“…Gender similarities appear more likely in the effects of OXTR on stress reactivity, but gender differences are inconsistent in terms of genetic effects on social, emotional, and empathic functioning (Rodrigues et al, 2009;Tost et al, 2010). The observed gender differences in the effects of negative social environments are consistent with evidence that the link between social support and mental health is stronger for women than for men (Flaherty and Richman, 1989). This may be because women tend to have the types of social networks -larger and more diffuse -that predict better mental health and functioning (Antonucci, 1990;Fiori et al, 2006;Litwin and Landau, 2000).…”

“…Hence, spousal support which is easy to perceive might have more prominent effects than the support which is difficult to perceive. Previous study suggested that woman is sensitive to find social support than man (Flaherty & Richman, 1989). Furthermore, wife also emphasizes spousal supportive behaviors in her own marital satisfaction more strongly than husband does (Acitelli & Antonucci, 1994).…”

“…Bien qu'aucune description ne soit totalement libre d'interprétation, le devis descriptif offre tout de même aux chercheurs une forme d'interprétation plus restreinte qui facilite l'obtention d'un consensus entre les chercheurs (Sandelowski, 2000). Pour sa part, la phénoménologie nous renvoie à la perception qu'ont les individus de leur propre expérience de vie et tente de la décrire telle qu'exprimée par ceux-ci et dans toute sa subjectivité (Antonucci & Akiyama, 1987;Burda & Vaux, 1987;Butler, Giordano & Neren, 1985;DePaulo, 1982;Devault, 1992;Flaherty & Richman, 1989;Lagory, Ritchey & Sells, 1997;Nadler, Maler & Friedman, 1984) (Sandelowski, 1995).…”

“…Certaines recherches ont d'ailleurs démontré qu'il existait des différences entre les hommes et les femmes, notamment en ce qui a trait au soutien reçu (Flaherty & Richman, 1989), à la mobilisation des ressources (Devault, 1992 ;Nadler, Maler & Friedman, 1984) et à la perception de la disponibilité d'aide dans l'entourage (Devault & Frechette, 2002). Il serait intéressant de comparer les données obtenues lors de cette étude à celles recueillies auprès de sujets masculins souffrant de multimorbidité afin de vérifier quelles sont les différences et les similitudes entre les deux sexes.…”
