The Daily Mail quoted him as saying that it was a surprise to know that youths react more to the ups and downs in relationships. But if the romance is going well then the man is more benefited. The survey was conducted on 1000 unmarried youths, aged between 18 and 23 years.
Shiman said the survey revealed that young people believe in very few people while women have more close ties with their family and friends. One reason for this is a greater sense of identity and self-esteem among the youth. According to him, the fact is that men and women express emotions in different ways. In women, emotional pain is reflected in depression, while in men it presents concrete problems.
This long study on mental health and the process of maturity was published in the journal Health and Social Behavior.
