    Note that

    (63 - 60) / 6 = 1/2

    (59 - 55) / 4 = 1

    So, in relation to other divorced women, the score of 63 is only 1/2 SD above the average. But in relation to other divorced men, the score of 59 is 1 SD above the average. That means the husband has adjusted better to the divorce in the relation to other divorced people of his gender.
