Abstract
Crying as a response to emotionally-charged situations varies among individuals, genders, and cultures. The authors assessed crying-proneness, as expressed by the score on the “crying easily” item of the SCL-90 questionnaire, in 65 men and 105 women subjects undergoing neurological exams. (None of the subjects showed pathological laughing or crying.) Subjects with high crying-proneness showed significantly lower levels of metabolites of noradrenaline than those with low crying-proneness. More women showed higher crying-proneness, and this behavior was associated with the Interpersonal Sensitivity item on the SCL-90.
