The research conducted by Barrett, Lane, Sechrest, and Schwartz (2000) suggests that:

a. men are more concerned with what people think of them than women do.
b. women exhibit greater emotional complexity than men.
c. women are more resistant to emotional disorders than men.
d. men are more likely to suffer from anxiety than women.

ANS: B
FEEDBACK: One large-scale study of the intensity of emotional awareness and expression compared male and female college undergraduates at two American universities and male and female students at medical schools in the United States and in Germany. The results showed that women from both countries displayed greater emotional complexity and intensity than did men (Barrett, Lane, Sechrest, & Schwartz, 2000).
