Studies of the relationship between depression and gender reveal that

A) gender roles may be more important than biological sex in affecting women's behaviors associated with depression.
B) biological sex may be more important than gender roles in affecting behaviors associated with depression among men.
C) biological sex may be more important than gender roles in affecting behaviors associated with depression among women.
D) gender roles and biological sex are similarly related to behaviors associated with depression.

Studies have shown that gender roles, societal expectations and pressures, and experiences of discrimination may all contribute to higher rates of depression among women. Biological sex may also play a role, but it is not necessarily more important than gender roles in this relationship. Among men, traditional masculine gender roles and attitudes may discourage help-seeking and emotional expression, which can contribute to higher rates of depression. Therefore, B and C are not correct. D is also not correct because gender roles and biological sex may have different levels of importance in the relationship between depression and gender.
