Depression Effects: Is Smarter Better?

Based off of existing research, it is probable that the higher an individual’s analytical intelligence is, the more likely they will be depressed. It is also more likely that the higher an individual’s emotional intelligence is, the less likely they will be depressed. Because females are better able to empathize with others, they are more likely to have higher emotional intelligence than males. This study tested to see if these hypotheses held true. This survey is completely anonymous; your name or identity will not be asked.
