Course Description: Decades of research on male gender role socialization have revealed both physical and psychological consequences of traditional masculinity for men’s health. Hope, however, is related to several important life domains including physical health and academic performance. The study explored relations between conformity to masculine norms, gender role conflict, hope, and psychological well-being. Researchers found that conformity to masculine norms may have positive benefits for men, whereas gender role conflict is associated with decreased hope and psychological well-being. Clinicians are encouraged to treat conformity to masculine norms and gender role conflict as two unique aspects of male gender role socialization.
