This book was released on 2010 with total page 62 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The interviewees shared their perceptions and provided rich examples that reinforced current literature on college men and masculinities. Findings from this study illustrated the pressure college men experience from peers, family, and society to exhibit the behaviors and character traits of the hegemonic male. This study recognized that the male students contradicting the norms of society by participating in campus activities did not fit the profile of the typical college male. Nevertheless, the interviewees provided recommendations for practitioners that not only reinforced current literature but also demonstrated how men's issues can be addressed specifically at large, Midwestern Research 1 University.

This book was released on 2014 with total page 165 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Male enrollment and graduate rates in higher education have paled in comparison to female achievement since the early 1980's, and explanations as to the reasons behind why males are falling behind have not been fruitful in addressing these issues. One area that has received very little attention in the literature is the role that gender role conflict may play in male student performance. The purpose of this research is to explore male and female engagement levels, while attempting to understand if levels of male gender role conflict are a mediating factor of engagement for men. This study utilized the three subscales of Collaborative Learning: Quality of Interaction and Studen/Faculty Interaction from the National Survey of Student Engagement, and all four factors of the Gender Role Conflict Scale in order to explore to what extent male gender role conflict is a mediating factor of engagement for males in higher education. The four factors of the GRCS are: Success, Power and Competition, Restrictive Emotionality, Restrictive Affectionate Behavior Between Men (homophobia, and conflicts between work and leisure/family relations). Survey instruments were distributed in the Winter 2014 semester using convenience sampling of undergraduate students at a large Midwestern university. A correlational analyses yielded significant relationships between responses for the GRCS subscale of Restrictive Emotionality, and Student/Faculty Interaction in addition to NSSE total score. Relationships were also noted between Restrictive Affectionate Behavior Between Men and Quality of Interactions, as well as GRCS total score and Student Faculty Interaction, Quality of Interactions, and NSSE total score. The student demographic category of year of birth was significantly correlated with Success and Power and Competition, while college major was significantly correlated with Collaborative Learning. Lastly, the education level of the first parent/legal guardian was correlated with Restrictive Affectionate Behavior Between Men, while student education level at the institution was correlated with Quality of Interactions. Regression models utilizing these correlations yielded significant coefficients with varied predictability. Overall, this study found that gender role conflict was a mediating factor of engagement for college males. This is the first known study to connect male gender role conflict to engagement levels on the National Survey of Student Engagement. Limitations and implications for future research are also addressed.

Download or read book Men and Masculinities written by Daniel Tillapaugh and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-07-03 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There continues to be much concern about the retention and persistent of men in college, particularly Black, Latinx, and Native American men. In addition, queer and trans* men also have found institutions to be problematic spaces. For those who do persist, we know that men are overrepresented in student conduct cases and engage in risky behaviors around alcohol, drug use, and sexual relationships. Additionally, we know that college men have historically avoided engaging in help-seeking behaviors for their academic and personal success. This book addresses the ways that theory can be put into practice for powerful, transformative learning to support college men and their development.This book synthesizes the research of the past three decades on college men to inform college student educators on the developmental needs of college men and illuminates how young men are socialized prior to their arrival to campus, but perhaps more importantly, how the collegiate environment becomes a training ground for the socialization of masculinities by students, their peers, and their environments.Beyond that, it sets out how practitioners can help young men understand why and how they have been socialized around their gender identity, but also what their gender identity and sense of masculinity means for their future selves. The book highlights programs and services designed to have college men engage with and dialogue around issues of hegemonic, toxic, or unhealthy aspects of masculinity. These promising practices can offer college men opportunities to understand their power, privilege, and identity in ways that can be affirming and healthier, leading to more life-giving chances. This is all the more important in the context of an ever-evolving society where traditionally held norms and expectations around gender--particularly masculinities--are shifting. This book equips student affairs staff, faculty, and administrators to better support college men’s development. It offers readers insights, ideas, and models for adapting and developing programs, services, and initiatives that may meaningfully meet the needs of specific student populations, while recognizing that there is no “one-size-fits-all” approach to this work.

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. Gender role conflict (GRC) doesn't just harm boys and men, but also girls and women, transgendered people, and society at large. Extensive research relates men's GRC to myriad behavioral problems, including sexism, violence, homophobia, depression, substance abuse, and relationship issues.

In this book, he combines numerous studies from renowned scholars in men's psychology with more than 30 years of his own clinical and research experience to promote activism and challenge the status quo. He describes multiple effects of men's GRC, including success, power, and competition issues restricted emotionality restricted affectionate behavior between men conflicts between men's work and family relations. O'Neil also explains when GRC can develop in a man's gender role journey, how to address it through preventative programs and therapy for boys and men, and what initiatives researchers and clinicians can pursue.
Download or read book Relationship Between Masculine Gender Role Conflict and Psychological Distress Among Korean Male College Students written by Jinhee Kang and published by . This book was released on 2001 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study investigated masculine gender role conflict experiences among Korean men. The research questions were investigated with a descriptive research design with a Korean male college sample. Participants completed the Gender Role Conflict Scale (GRCS), the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI-T), the Center for Epidemiologic Studies-Depression Scale (CES-D), the Marlowe-Crowne Social Desirability index form C (SD), and questions for their alcohol and tobacco usage. The four-factor solution of the original GRCS was replicated with the Korean sample in this study. The hypotheses concerning gender role conflict and its relations to the experiences of psychological distress were supported. Specifically, all four gender role conflict dimensions exhibited meaningful associations with anxiety or depression. However, the relationship between masculine gender role conflict and the usage of masculine coping methods in Korean culture was not supported by the findings in this study. The findings in terms of their implications for future research and practice are suggested. The limitations of the current study also are discussed.
