DOWNLOAD EBOOKFrom an early age and consistently throughout the lifespan, men are inundated with messages about what it means to be a man, and consistently discouraged from displaying any vulnerable emotions. Masculinity research has increasingly focused on understanding the effects of traditional norms of masculinity and gender-linked stressors, known as gender role conflict, on the lives and psychological well-being of men. However, little is known about how these factors may impact men's relationship satisfaction in their friendships with other men. In this study, participants' levels of conformity to traditional masculine norms and gender-linked stress were measured and analyzed in relation to their levels of relationship satisfaction in inter-male friendships. Respondents with more conformity to traditional masculine norms were found to have higher levels of gender role conflict, supporting existing research findings. Gender role conflict was found to significantly negatively correlate with friendship satisfaction, suggesting that men experiencing more gender-linked stress in their lives have less fulfilling friendships with other men.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKABSTRACT: This study examined some factors that may affect one's decision to maintain or terminate an abusive dating relationship. Men who stayed in and men who left abusive dating relationships were contrasted on the variables of the Investment Model (Rusbult & Martz, 1995) and Masculine Gender Role Stress (Eisler & Skidmore, 1987). In looking at differences on Investment Model variables, it was found that men who stayed vs. men who left violent dating relationships differed significantly on commitment and five measures of satisfaction, but did not differ significantly on investment or relationship alternatives. Regression analysis with the entire sample showed overall support for the Investment Model, however, investment and relationship satisfaction emerged as the only significant predictors of commitment. Relationship alternatives did not contribute significantly to the prediction of commitment. The Investment Model remained significant when tested separately for stayers and leavers. When analyzed in this way, investment was the only significant predictor of commitment for both groups. No significant differences were found between stayers and leavers on Masculine Gender Role Stress.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKDating violence is a prevalent problem with many long-term deleterious effects, including difficulties with future relationships. Much of the research regarding beliefs about dating violence focuses on the acceptability of violence. The justification of violence in certain situations, such as self-defense, revenge, or playing around, has been found to be strongly related with dating violence, and even to predict dating violence perpetration, particularly among men. Further research has shown that individuals who adhere to traditional gender role attitudes display greater acceptance of violence against women in particular. Additional research has shown that when gender norms are violated, it leads to gender role discrepancy stress, which is associated with dating violence perpetration. However, the majority of the literature focuses on male gender role attitudes and male dating violence toward women, and less is known about the impact of gender role attitudes on female perpetration or experience of dating violence. This study examined 291 young adults between ages 18 and 20. Participants completed anonymous online surveys on experiences of dating violence, gender role attitudes, acceptance of dating violence, and gender stress. Partial correlations revealed that dating violence perpetration is significantly related to attitudes accepting dating violence and gender role attitudes when controlling for victimization. Dating violence victimization is correlated with felt pressure for gender conformity and gender typicality after effects of perpetration are controlled. While traditional gender role attitudes significantly moderated the relationship between acceptance of dating violence and perpetration, gender stress was not found to play a role between the predictor and outcome variables. Surprisingly, gender did not differentiate outcomes for any of the examined interactions.
