From the Paper:

"This study is intended to study the differences between genders in the way that they respond to their spouses' difficulties and stressors. The goal of the study was to gain understanding of the perception of women as better support providers, through examining certain events in which spousal support was perceived as necessary. There were two predictions made for the purpose of the study. The first prediction was that wives would provide better support than husbands would when the partner needed that support. The second prediction was that husbands would feel more supported by their wives when under high-stress conditions than wives would feel supported by their husbands under similar conditions."
