Women report higher rates of tension, fatigue, and confusion when asked about their moods than men, who tend to have less negative mood profiles, according to Australian research. The study looked at the rates of six mood profiles termed the iceberg, inverse iceberg, inverse Everest, shark fin, surface, and submerged profiles. It found men tended to have higher rates of the "iceberg" profile which comes with high levels of energy, and low levels of tension, and depression, and is linked to positive mental health. Women, on the other hand, were more likely to have negative mood profiles such as the "shark fin" profile which comes with below-average levels of tension, depression, anger, vigour, and confusion, and high levels of fatigue. The researchers also found the "iceberg" profile tended to be more common as people age while the "shark fin" profile tended to decrease with age.
