“…This study demonstrates the usefulness of the PMB as a country-level indicator of beliefs about manhood (Bosson et al, 2021). Previous research has established links between individual men’s endorsement of male role norms (Levant et al, 1992; Mahalik et al, 2003) or self-ascribed masculinity (Helgeson, 2012; Helgeson & Lepore, 1997, 2004) and health outcomes, yielding complex relationships depending on the specific male norms or masculinity constructs under investigation. The current findings are thus impressive because country-level PMB scores reflect a widespread belief, shared by individuals of different genders, about the elusive and tenuous nature of manhood.…”

“…For instance, agentic traits such as competitiveness and assertiveness, which are prescribed for men more strongly than women (Bosson et al, 2022; Prentice & Carranza, 2002), tend to be associated with better health, more health-promoting behaviors, and better adjustment to illness (Helgeson & Lepore, 1997, 2004). However, unmitigated agency, an extreme focus on the self to the neglect of others, is associated with poorer health behaviors and outcomes (Helgeson, 2012; Helgeson & Fritz, 1999). For example, college students higher in unmitigated agency reported more risky health behaviors (e.g., reckless driving, substance use; Danoff-Burg et al, 2006), and male prostate cancer survivors high in unmitigated agency experienced adverse changes in urine and bowel function (Helgeson & Lepore, 2004).…”

Cultural beliefs about the requirements of manhood may have implications for men’s physical health. In a cross-cultural examination of 62 countries, we explored whether country-level endorsement of precarious manhood beliefs (PMBs) was associated with various country-level risk-related health behaviors and outcomes. In countries that more strongly endorsed PMBs, men had higher rates of risky health behaviors (e.g., smoking, venomous animal contact) and risk-related health outcomes (e.g., liver cirrhosis mortality, drownings), and lower life expectancy. The average size of correlations of PMB with health behaviors and outcomes was moderate (rs = .21, .26), while correlations of PMB with men’s life expectancy were relatively strong (rs = −.56, −.57). Overall, men live over six fewer years in countries higher versus lower in PMB. The relationships between PMB and health behaviors and outcomes were attenuated but did not completely disappear when controlling for country-level indicators of development and gender equality. These findings suggest that country-level beliefs about gender, and not just men’s own masculinity and masculinity-related beliefs, may have important connections to men’s health.

“…The vast majority of research on youth with Type 1 diabetes (T1D) focuses on the implications of the family for adolescents’ psychological and physical health (Helgeson et al, 2019). However, the social environment of adolescents, including adolescents with T1D, extends beyond the family to include peers and friends.…”

Objective: We examined the links of supportive and conflictual peer interactions to mood and self-care via ecological momentary assessment. Method: Adolescents with Type 1 diabetes (n = 167, 49% female) recruited between 2018 and 2021 were prompted 8 times a day for 8 days to complete brief surveys that measured perceived social interactions, affect, and self-care. Results: Cross-sectional analyses revealed between-and within-person (WP) links of peer support to positive mood and conflict to negative mood. Between-person peer support was linked to healthy self-care, but WP support was not. Lagged analyses showed conflictual interactions were associated with self-care decline. There was some evidence that females did not benefit as much from support and were more bothered by conflict than others. Conclusions: Results underscore differences in between-and WP links of social interactions to health. Individual differences in support were more influential than conflict, but conflictual interactions had more momentary effects than supportive interactions. Public Significance StatementSubstantive contributions to research on Type 1 diabetes are made by focusing on peer relationships, examining both support and conflict, testing gender moderation, and employing a design that examines proximal links of social interactions to health. Between-person and within-person support and conflict were related to mood, but only between-person support was related to self-care. A key longitudinal finding showed within-person peer conflict was linked to declines in self-care over time.

“…While many #VanLife posts are photos of beautiful scenery or cool rigs, or questions, the murders of a 66-year old woman in her RV in January 2019 (Woodbury, 2019) and then of a couple who were RV camping on a Corpus Christi, TX beach in October 2019 led to articles in social media forums about how to stay safe while vehicle dwelling (Agredano, 2019). Yet, social media advice articles, specifically on boondocking, claim that RVing is safer than staying home, while also admitting that there are no official victimization data for vehicle dwellers (e.g., Helgeson, 2018; Smith, 2020).…”

How Safe Is Life on the Road? Criminal Victimization Among a Sample of U.S. Nomads and the #VanLife Community

The current study provides the first estimates of criminal victimization prevalence among Nomads and members of the VanLife community. People who live and travel in manufactured recreational vehicles, retrofitted vans or buses, and cars are a heterogenous group who face an unknown risk of life on the road. Analyses reveal high victimization prevalence rates. Guided by lifestyle-routine activities theories, regression analyses reveal that gender, Latino ethnicity, income, and education affect risk of rape, aggravated assault, physical threats, property crime, aggravated property crime, and financial identity theft. Disaggregated analyses highlight those demographics that impact victimization risk for year-round Nomads versus part-timers. Questions about the lifestyles-routine activities of Nomads emerge from the analyses and directions for future research are offered.
