Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Men's gender role conflict is a psychological state in which restrictive definitions of masculinity limit men's well-being and human potential.

Book Men in Therapy  New Approaches for Effective Treatment

Download or read book Men in Therapy New Approaches for Effective Treatment written by David B. Wexler and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 2009-07-28 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How to do better, more effective therapy with men. Cultural norms and assumptions color the male experience of psychotherapy, and the traditional notions of masculinity to which many men still cling are, in many ways, antithetical to the tenets and goals of therapy. As a result, even the experienced therapist may find him- or herself struggling when working with male clients. In Men in Therapy, therapists are offered a number of methods for countering men’s general reluctance to open up emotionally or fully engage in therapy. Of course, men cannot be reduced to a single, monolithic group; rather, they start therapy due to a wide range of needs, and come from a wide variety of backgrounds. Therefore, individual chapters are devoted to the treatment of men in relationships, men suffering from depression, fathers, men who abuse women, and men of color. In each case, Wexler provides an informative overview of the issues unique to each group, sound advice, and commonsense methods for treating each of these groups effectively, nonjudgmentally, and professionally.

Book Rhetoric of Masculinity

Download or read book Rhetoric of Masculinity written by Donnalyn Pompper and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2022-01-31 with total page 341 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rhetoric of Masculinity: Male Body Image, Media, and Gender Role Stress/Conflict lends depth and global nuance to discourse associated with the masculinity concept as it brings to bear on males' self-image, role in society, media representations of them, and the gender role stress/conflict experienced when they fail to measure up to social standards associated with what it means to be manly. Even though the concept of masculine gender role stress/conflict has received substantial scholarly attention in psychology, social learning effects of masculinity as it plays out in media warrant further study given that representations offer audiences restrictive male gender roles that may contribute to toxic masculinity. Men and boys are taught to be self-sufficient, to act tough, to be muscular, heterosexual, and to use aggression to resolve conflicts. Such contexts provide restrictive images that can result in self harm and an inflexible social milieu. Scholars and students of communication, rhetoric, and gender studies will find this book particularly interesting.

Book Gender Role Conflict in Adolescent Males

Download or read book Gender Role Conflict in Adolescent Males written by Martha I. Christensen and published by . This book was released on 2001 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The impact of gender socialization on psychological functioning has been an area of inquiry since feminist researchers in the 1970s began studying the psychological development of girls and women. This research has established gender as a valuable construct by which psychological development can be understood. As a result, more is known about how growing up female can lead to the development of particular constellations of behaviors, emotions, and experiences, and the atrophying of others. Recently, the impact of gender socialization on boys and men has also become an area of psychological inquiry. However, researchers are just beginning to delineate the gender-specific developmental pathway for males and its accompanying constellations of behaviors, emotions, and experiences. This study will contribute to this growing body of literature by examining the ways in which masculine socialization and its prohibitions against expressing emotional vulnerability affects boys' perceptions of peers and themselves. A sample of adolescent males will be given the Gender Role Conflict Scale for Adolescents (GRCS-A) to measure the amount and type of distress experienced in comparing themselves to the socialized masculine ideal. Participants will then view a videotaped vignette of an adolescent boy expressing vulnerable feelings and behaviors contrary to this ideal. Following the video, participants will describe the boy in the video using the 300-word Adjective Check List (ACL). Pearson product moment correlations will be used to test ten hypotheses related to participants' degrees of gender role conflict and its relationship to five particularly salient ACL subscale scores. Exploratory analysis will also be done using frequency distributions to look at the ten adjectives most frequently used to rate the boy in the video. It is hoped that this study will offer more insight into how gender socialization impacts adolescent boys' identity development, as well as their perceptions of non-traditional masculine behavior.

Book Gender Role Conflict and Resilience in Adolescent and Emerging Adult Males

Download or read book Gender Role Conflict and Resilience in Adolescent and Emerging Adult Males written by Stephanie Lynn Bates and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ABSTRACT: Gender identity development can be an arduous process for many adolescents and emerging adults. Both the paths of gender development and the resulting identities of young people can have a great effect on the development and later lives of these individuals. One difficulty youth can face at this stage is gender role conflict, an issue arising from conflict within male youth associated with gender socialization process. The purpose of this study was to examine gender role conflict in adolescent and emerging adult males and how it affects their resilience, or their ability to "bounce back" from adverse circumstances. Specifically, the study investigated the effects of gender role conflict on male adolescent/emerging adult resilience. Results of the study revealed a complex relationship between male gender role conflict and resilience in this sample. Multiple regression modeling showed that as conflict surrounding the Success, Power and Competition (SPC) pattern increased, these male youth reported more resilience. Conversely, as conflict surrounding the Restrictive Emotionality (RE) pattern increased, male youth sampled reported less resilience. Further study is needed to explore these relationships and their effects in adolescent and emerging adult males more closely. More specifically, research should focus on the gender socialization process, the development of gender role conflict, and its effects on male youth throughout the gender development process.
