Abstract
This study was undertaken to provide information on the impact of demographic factors, stressful life events, and sociocultural patterns on depressive symptomatology among 142 noninstitutionalized Black men. The findings indicate that age, family income, household size, employment status, and conflict between the sexes were related to the presence of depressive symptoms. When controls were introduced, only family income and conflict between the sexes were correlates of depressive symptoms among Black men in this study.
