abstract="Published studies on men and depression do not typically involve a comparison group. This article presents the first exploratory investigation to compare the clinical and personality features of a sample of depressed men to a non-clinical sample. Analyses revealed the clinical group reported lower mood, higher levels of alexithymia, greater levels of rumination, and lower levels of distraction than the non-clinical group. However, the clinical group and non-clinical group endorsed similar levels of adherence to masculine norms. No significant relationship was found between anger and depression. Men of the non-clinical group reported higher levels of problem-solving behaviors than men of the clinical group. Research implications, clinical implications, and limitations are discussed.<p />",
