“…This finding is consistent with existing research that identifies heavy episodic drinking as one of the most robust distal predictors of physical aggression toward intimate partners (Foran and O’Leary 2008). It is also consistent with research which shows that heavy drinking men who tend to appraise hypothetical threats to masculinity as stressful are particularly likely to experience anger activation (Copenhaver et al 2000) and are more susceptible to drink heavily in response to situational triggers such as negative emotions and conflict (Lash, Copenhaver, and Eisler 1998). …”

“…Masculine gender role stress (Eisler and Skidmore 1987) is defined as the tendency to cognitively appraise gender relevant situations as threatening or stressful. These situations include gender relevant conflict or situations that require defense of personal and societal standards of a more hegemonic masculinity (Copenhaver, Lash, and Eisler 2000; Eisler and Skidmore 1987; Eisler, Franchina, Moore, Honeycutt, and Rhatigan 2000; Eisler, Skidmore, and Ward 1988; Lash, Eisler, and Schulnian 1990). Specific to intimate relationships, men who consistently exhibit these biased appraisal processes are more likely to feel threatened, use verbal aggression, experience negative affect (e.g., anger, anxiety), and attribute negative intent to female intimate partners during gender-relevant conflict situations (Franchina, Eisler, and Moore 2001; Moore and Stuart 2004).…”

“Demonstrating Masculinity” Via Intimate Partner Aggression: The Moderating Effect of Heavy Episodic Drinking

The aim of the present study was to examine the mediational effect of masculine gender role stress on the relation between adherence to dimensions of a hegemonic masculinity and male-to-female intimate partner physical aggression. Men’s history of heavy episodic drinking was also examined as a moderator of the proposed mediation effect. A sample of 392 heterosexual men from the southeastern United States who had been in an intimate relationship within the past year completed measures of hegemonic masculine norms (i.e., status, toughness, and antifemininity), masculine gender role stress, alcohol use patterns, and intimate partner physical aggression. Results indicated that the indirect effects of adherence to the antifemininity and toughness norms on physical aggression toward female intimate partners via masculine gender role stress were significant and marginal, respectively. A significant indirect effect of status was not detected. Moreover, subsequent analyses revealed that the indirect effects of antifemininity and toughness were significant only among men with a history of heavy episodic drinking. These findings suggest that heavy episodic drinking exacerbates a gender-relevant stress pathway for intimate partner aggression among men who adhere to specific norms of masculinity. Overall, results suggest that the proximal effect of heavy episodic drinking focuses men’s attention on gender-based schemas associated with antifemininity and toughness, which facilitates partner-directed aggression as a means to demonstrate these aspects of their masculinity. Implications for the intersection between men’s adherence to specific norms of hegemonic masculinity, cognitive appraisal of gender relevant situations, and characteristic patterns of alcohol consumption are discussed.

“…Here, men who are concerned about failing to appear masculine, such as those who have recently lost their family provider role, have a greater tendency to engage in verbal and physical aggression toward their partners (Vandello & Bosson, 2013). Consequently, men may have greater propensity to enact violence against female or minoritized gender partners to regain a sense of masculinity, control, or power in their relationships (Copenhaver et al, 2000).…”

The onset of the global COVID-19 pandemic put a halt to progress toward gender equality and, instead, exacerbated existing gender inequalities across domains—from gendered divisions of labour to economic stability. In this paper we document some of the most glaring gender inequalities that have arisen in the COVID-19 pandemic and discuss how social psychological theories and research—including work on gender stereotypes and roles, responses to threat, precarious masculinity, perceptions of risk, and backlash—can help to explain the roots of these inequalities. In doing so, we use a broad definition of gender and consider relevant intersections of identity. Finally, we present three key considerations for research on gender inequalities moving forward. Namely, the need for social psychologists to (a) challenge binary conceptualizations of gender, (b) broaden the focus of research on gender inequalities, and (c) adopt an intersectional lens to address systemic inequalities in the wake of COVID-19.

“…In large part, previous studies have explored hypothesized differences between abusive and non-abusive males in terms of their physiological arousal (e.g., Gottman, Jacobson, Rushe, Shortt, Babcock, Taillade, & Waltz, 1995;Margolin, John, & Gliberman, 1988), cognitive appraisal (e.g., Copenhaver, Lash, & Eisler, 1997;Baumeister et al, 1996;Holtzworth-Munroe & Hutchinson, 1993;Holtzworth-Munroe, 1992b), and coping strategies for managing partner conflict (e.g., Holtzworth-Munroe & Anglin, 1991;Dutton & Browning, 1988 Margolin and associates (1988) report that physically aggressive husbands reported a more negative emotional state. However, the group of physically aggressive husbands reported only slightly more physiological arousal during such discussions as compared with the nonphysically aggressive husbands (Margolin et al, 1988).…”

Throughout history, the human race has been characterized by the use of physical and emotional aggression by individuals, particularly males, in their intimate relationships. Intimate abusiveness is particularly common among substance dependent males. As a result of male intimate abusiveness, victims suffer a variety of problems ranging from emotional trauma to death due to physical injury. Despite increased attention to this problem, our understanding of the process leading to intimate abusiveness is far from comprehensive. The primary purpose of the present study was to expand our understanding of intimate abusiveness through the application of a social-cognitive model of intimate abusiveness among substance dependent males.Fifty-seven males from an inpatient substance abuse treatment program participated. Subjects completed questionnaires indicating their level of intimate abusiveness. In addition, they completed partner-related attribution measures as well as coping response measures indicating how they would interpret and handle five ambiguous vignettes involving their partner.It was hypothesized that violent men would attribute greater negative intent and responsibility to their partner and that they would choose to handle the ambiguous vignettes in less competent ways compared with non-violent men. Further, it was predicted that the association between intimate abusiveness and competency of coping responses would be mediated by attributions made about the partner. Results of the study generally supported predictions. The implications of the results are discussed as well as suggestions for future research.
