While it did nothing to calm the maelstrom swirling around Summers, the new understanding of the chromosome
revealed tantalizing clues to the role genes might play in shaping cognitive
differences between the
sexes.
If autism mostly affects males, understanding the
differences between the
sexes could explain why, which in turn may
reveal something about the fundamental causes of the disorder.
The results
revealed that (1) for females and males, higher levels of depressive symptoms correlated with a more depressive attributional style; (2) females and males who met diagnostic criteria for a current depressive disorder evidenced more depres - sogenic attributions than psychiatric controls, and never and past depressed adolescents; (3) although no
sex differences in terms of attributional patterns for positive events, negative events, or for positive and negative events combined emerged, sex differences were revealed on a number of dimensional scores; (4) across the Children's Attributional Style Questionnaire (CASQ) subscale and dimensional scores, the relation between attributions and current self - reported depressive symptoms was stronger for females than males; and (5) no Sex × Diagnostic Group Status interaction effects emerged for CASQ subscale or dimensional scor
