“…Having multiple marginalized statuses has been found to have differing effects on stigma (Deacon, 2006;Goudge, Ngoma, Manderson, & Schneider, 2009;Meyer, Schwartz, & Frost, 2008), but this has not been investigated for problem gambling. Additionally, the role of gender in problem gambling stigma requires dedicated studies, especially considering that females appear to be less stigmatized than males for having a mental health problem (Farina, 1981), but more stigmatized for alcohol or drug abuse (Robbins, 1989). Hing et al (2014) have speculated that women are more likely to be and feel more stigmatized for problem gambling due to a perceived failure to live up to expected gender roles, which can lead to intense shame and guilt.…”

“…Not only are men who strictly adhere to these traditional masculine norms more at risk for health problems, they are also more likely to engage in harmful behavior (i.e. substance use, risk taking, unhealthy relationships) (Kessler et al, 1994;Robbins, 1989;Robbins & Regier, 1991) as compared to women who are more likely to seek help (Addis & Mahalik, 2003).…”

Part of the Educational Psychology CommonsRecommended Citation Alt, Marcus Christopher. "The experiences of gay, military men and the impact on one's sense of masculinity." PhD (Doctor of Philosophy) thesis, University of Iowa, 2015. http://ir.uiowa.edu/etd/1948. Lastly, thank you to all the men who took part in this study. The courage shown in sharing your experiences is truly inspirational. You were the driving force behind this project and for that I am most appreciative. THE EXPERIENCES OF GAY, MILITARY MEN AND THE IMPACT ON ONE'S SENSEv ABSTRACT Literature has offered insight into aspects of traditional masculine gender norms in shaping expectations of soldiers (Arkin & Dobrofsky, 1978;Green et al., 2010;Johnson, 2010; Lorber & Garcia, 2010;Shawver, 1995), yet there has been little consideration of how these norms affect gay identified servicemen. For centuries, military policies have made efforts to restrict gay individuals from serving openly or at all, leading to inquiry about the effectiveness of these individuals as service members and the impact on unit cohesion (Burrelli, 2012; Parco & Levy, 2010;Shawver, 1995;Zellman, 1996). The current study examines the experiences of gay service men and the impact on the expression of their masculine and gay identity while in the military. The researcher explores the definition of masculinity in the military, its role in the expression of gay sexual identity, experiences of and participation in acts of homophobia by self or others, and participants' perception of the Don't Ask Don't Tell policy repeal, as it relates to their comfort with expressing their gay identity. vi PUBLIC ABSTRACTPrevious research has looked into the how masculinity is defined in the military and the expectations that many soldiers face in trying to live up to this standard (Arkin & Dobrofsky, 1978;Green et al., 2010;Johnson, 2010; Lorber & Garcia, 2010;Shawver, 1995). There is little consideration, however, for the impact of these expectations on gay service members. The current study examines the experiences of gay service men and the impact on how they express their sense of masculinity and gay identity while in the military. More specifically, this study seeks these individuals' definition of masculinity, how it impacted their expression of being gay, and their experience in serving under polices preventing them from serving openly. Overall, findings suggest that these men identified with the military's definition of masculinity and did not feel less masculine because of their sexual orientation. Further, they continued to gain acceptance of their sexual identity while serving, but feel that it will still take several years before gays are fully accepted in the military.vii

“…Consommé de façon excessive, sur une base occasionnelle ou chronique, l'alcool augmente la probabilité de développer non seulement des problèmes généraux de santé, mais aussi des problèmes plus particuliers pouvant affecter l'un ou l'autre des systèmes circulatoire, respiratoire, digestif ou nerveux central (Munoz-Perez et Nizard, 1991 ;Sales et al, 1989). Il est éga-lement reconnu que l'usage abusif d'alcool est associé à certains problèmes sociaux tels la négligence ou la violence familiale (Landry et al, 1994 ;Robbins, 1989 ;Shepherd et al, 1989). Le lecteur intéressé par la consommation abusive consultera le chapitre du second volume du présent rapport consacré à ce sujet.…”
