DO MEN STILL WANT THEIR MOMS TO NURSE THEM BACK TO HEALTH? NEW RESEARCH REVEALS THAT 58% OF MEN STILL WISH THEIR MOM WOULD TAKE CARE OF THEM WHEN THEY’RE SICK.
THAT’S ACCORDING TO A SURVEY OF 2,000 EMPLOYED ADULTS, WHICH ALSO REVEALED THAT MEN ARE MORE LIKELY TO AGREE THAT THEIR MOM TAKES BETTER CARE OF THEM THAN THEIR PARTNER DOES WHEN THEY’RE DOWN FOR THE COUNT (43% VS 35%).
CONDUCTED BY ONEPOLL ON BEHALF OF M-D-LIVE, THE SURVEY ALSO FOUND THAT WOMEN WERE MORE LIKELY TO WANT TO BE LEFT ALONE WHEN SICK THAN MEN (53% VS 46%).
RESULTS ALSO REVEALED THAT THAT ONLY A THIRD OF THOSE POLLED CLAIM THEY HANDLE BEING SICK ‘EXTREMELY WELL.’
NEARLY 80% OF WOMEN THINK THEY HANDLE SICKNESS BETTER THAN MEN, WHILE ONLY 30% OF MEN THINK THE SAME.
Survey methodology:
This random double-opt-in survey of 2,000 employed Americans evenly split by gender was commissioned by MDLIVE between Jan. 12 and Jan. 19, 2024. It was conducted by market research company OnePoll, whose team members are members of the Market Research Society and have corporate membership to the American Association for Public Opinion Research (AAPOR) and the European Society for Opinion and Marketing Research (ESOMAR).
