Note. CES-D = Center for Epidemiologic Studies–Depression Scale; MDS = Masculine Depression Scale; MDS-Internalizing = Masculine Depression Scale–Internalizing factor; MDS-Externalizing = Masculine Depression Scale–Externalizing factor; BSRI-M = Bem Gender Role Inventory–Masculinity subscale. Statistics are M (SD) unless otherwise noted. Ns for scales vary slightly because of missing data. Two older adults did not indicate their gender and are not included in this table.
