“…Similar research related to child DV exposure with gender, sexuality, or heteronormativity as a focus, and its impact on youth or advocates has not been conducted. However, there is research in these areas with adolescent and adult men and women that informs the present study (Connell, 1995(Connell, , 1998de Lauretis, 1987;Gilligan, 1982Gilligan, /1993Kimmel, 1996;Messerschmidt, 2000aMesserschmidt, , 2000bPetersen, 1998;Phillips, 2005Phillips, , 2006Phillips, , 2007. Research from critical masculinities studies has begun to examine male gender, masculine performativity, and the pressure on boys to "take up" culturally normative masculinity practices as strategies to meet commonly accepted definitions of what it means to be a normal male (Messerschmidt, 2000a(Messerschmidt, , 2000bPhillips, 2005Phillips, , 2007).…”

Up to 8 million American children witness domestic violence (DV) every year. Since this discovery in the mid-1980s, psychologists and social service professionals have conducted research with children exposed to DV. This ethnographic study expands on existing research by examining how youth exposed to DV perceive their experiences and staff interventions. Findings show they draw on gender stereotypes for behaviors, and these frequently resist DV education and the advocates' suggestions for coping. Findings also showed the staff's formal interventions with the youth contradict gender norms and their casual interactions with the youth often inadvertently reinforce stereotypical gender identities and behaviors.

“…These men had been dejected as young fellows from imparting and examining their sentiments by gatekeepers, companions, instructors, or recreations coaches, and some were even repelled for doing thusly [27]. Along these lines, they didn't improve a terms for, nor an attentiveness of, countless feelings [28]. One standardizing manly part prerequisite is the limitation of enthusiastic articulation [29].…”

Adult attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a psychosomatic issue which comprises of complications like problem in paying attention, hyperactivity and impulsive behavior. Our obtained results indicated that the general incidence rate of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder in adult population is low that out of 100 undergraduates 36% were ADHD, 53% were non-ADHD and 11% were possible ADHD. Besides it was also revealed from this study that attention deficit hyperactivity disorder is widespread in adult males than in females this is probably due to the constricting emotional nature of males' influenced by the perceived stereotypic virility. However it is crucial to identify ADHD as a serious mental health issue in adults for early treatment and personality management.

In recent years, the emphasis on studies of western masculinities has caused studies on local masculinities not only to be ignored but marginalised. The underrepresentation of studies relating to Asian masculinity, particularly on Malaysian men, has caused a significant gap in theorizing about Asian men in general and Malaysian men in particular. With globalization and the shift in societal expectations of gender roles, men are urged to redefine and reconstruct their contemporary identities in their personal and professional lives. Despite the growing interest in masculine studies, research concerning men, especially in the social transformation of masculinity within the contemporary society is largely absent. This study examined the perceptions and experiences of Malaysian men in their negotiation of masculinity. Drawing from in depth semi structured interviews and content analysis of survey questions, the study explores the discursive construction of new masculinity among 28 Malaysian men aged between 25-35. Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) was used for the analysis of interview transcripts. The study sought to investigate how new masculinity is constructed by analysing the interview discourse of the 28 respondents by paying close attention to the linguistic and lexical choices they used to describe masculine identities. This study examined whether the current notion of masculinity sustains or challenges the hegemonic concept. The findings of this study indicate that being seen as independent, competitive and a risk taker are among the important determinants of self-perceived masculinity. In some instances, traditional male identities which is linked with being dominant, muscular and being a provider are no longer considered as ultimate masculine identifications. The findings are of great importance to provide a refined and contextual understanding of how masculinity and complex male identities are constructed in contemporary society.
