Gender Differences in Stress (1983-2009)

According to national surveys conducted in 1983, 2006, and 2009, women consistently reported higher mean stress scores than men. For men, stress levels showed a steady increase from approximately 12 in 1983 to just over 15 in 2009. In contrast, women's stress scores rose sharply from under 13 in 1983 to 16 in 2006, a level that remained stable in 2009.
