Depressiveness of people in early adulthood The article addresses the issue of depression and variables of age and gender. The study assumed that people in early adulthood (aged 20-35). At the same time, a hypothesis was put forward, which was determined by the statement - gender determines the intensity of depression symptoms in such a way that men present a lower intensity of the features characteristic for depression. A. Beck's Inventory (IDB - Beck Depression Inventory) and non-standardized questionnaire regarding the sense of security were used in the research. A total of 189 people were tested (F20-35 - 91; M20-35 - 98). Based on the analysis of the research it was established: the age of the respondents does not differ statistically (p = .12). In the case of the intensity of depression, there are significant differences between the studied women and men (p = .01). Early adulthood is not free from depressive states. Most respondents do not experience it. Young people present a sense of security in a moderate (subjective) way. Depressiveness is a determinant of the sense of security of the surveyed women. The symptoms of depression in higher intensity are noticeable in the examined women.
