"I think these findings could be used by people offering support to families and children during distressing times. "
“我想，这项研究成果对于帮助家庭和孩子渡过情感危机，将起到一定的指导作用。”

"We may have to think carefully about the way we deal with families with lots of boys."
“我们也应该重视那些只有男孩儿的家庭的情感沟通方式。”

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."
向年轻人和家庭提供咨询服务的慈善组织支持热线的负责人盖里·波尼科尔表示，这项研究的成果非常有趣，它与我们在工作中的发现相吻合。

"Boys tend to internalise problems and in families where there are lots of sons, I can see that can cause problems.
“男孩子容易将事情个人化，我觉得家里要是男孩子多，自然容易出现沟通方面的问题。”

"I think the most important thing in these circumstances is to give people someone independent to talk to outside the immediate family unit."
“我想消除这种沟通障碍的最佳办法，就是找一个局外人就事论事地解决矛盾。”
