Abstract

The present study forms a part of a thirteen-year longitudinal study of mental health and examines how university-educated men and women have adapted to an average environment. In basic cross-tabulations, 63 out of the total 356 psychological and sociological characteristics proved to be differently distributed for men and women. On the other hand, there were no quantitative differences in global mental health-illness indicators between the sexes. Fifteen central personality characteristics indicating good adaptation were kept constant. Different scales for men and women were needed for adjustment measures such as: "social position", "level of university degree", "ego strength", "control of anger", "general ability", "norm-dependence". On the contrary, "satisfaction with occupation", "self-actualization in love", "having children", "quality of social background" were distributed identically. Consequently, keeping these indicators constant did not decrease sex-differences. Hartmann's concept of adaptation to average environment proved to be rather difficult to apply in practice. Differences in how men and women adapted in Finnish society were examined in detail. The general adjustment was rather successful but there were signs indicating that the women's adaptation was less successful.

受过大学教育的男性和女性在适应方面的差异。
目前的研究是一项为期13年的心理健康纵向研究的一部分,旨在调查受过大学教育的男性和女性是如何适应普通环境的。在基本交叉表中,总共356项心理和社会学特征中有63项证明男女的分布不同。另一方面,全球心理健康疾病指标在两性之间没有数量差异。表明良好适应的15个中心人格特征保持不变。“社会地位”、“大学学历水平”、“自我力量”、“愤怒控制”、“一般能力”、“规范依赖”等调整措施需要不同的男女量表。相反,“职业满意度”、“爱情自我实现”、“是否有孩子”、“社会背景质量”分布相同。因此,保持这些指标不变并没有减少性别差异。哈特曼的平均环境适应概念在实践中很难应用。详细研究了男性和女性如何适应芬兰社会的差异。总的调整是相当成功的,但有迹象表明,妇女的适应不太成功。
