Abstract
A consistent finding in studies of depression in Western cultures is that women are about twice as likely as men to become depressed [ l] . Although the existence of sex differences in the epidemiology of depression is well established, the origins of these differences are not adequately understood. In this paper we first update and extend earlier epidemiological reviews of sex differences in depression (e.g., [1, 2] ) and then discuss theoretical predictions and empirical work generated by the cognitive models of depression that may help explain why women are more prone to depression than men.
