"I think these findings could be used by people offering support to families and children during distressing times. "
“我想，這項研究成果對于幫助家庭和孩子渡過情感危機，將起到一定的指導作用。”

"We may have to think carefully about the way we deal with families with lots of boys."
“我們也應該重視那些只有男孩兒的家庭的情感溝通方式。”

Geri Burnikell, co-ordinator of the charity Support Line, which offers counselling to young people and families, said: "This is very interesting and certainly chimes with our experiences."
向年輕人和家庭提供咨詢服務的慈善組織支持熱線的負責人蓋里·波尼科爾表示，這項研究的成果非常有趣，它與我們在工作中的發現相吻合。

"Boys tend to internalise problems and in families where there are lots of sons, I can see that can cause problems.
“男孩子容易將事情個人化，我覺得家里要是男孩子多，自然容易出現溝通方面的問題。”

"I think the most important thing in these circumstances is to give people someone independent to talk to outside the immediate family unit."
“我想消除這種溝通障礙的最佳辦法，就是找一個局外人就事論事地解決矛盾。”
