“…Our previous report also confirmed many other findings from studies of associations of heightened traditional masculinity, or toxic masculinity as it is sometimes called, with getting into fights, acting delinquently, being expelled from schools, running away from home, and heavier use of drugs and alcohol (Daigle & Mummert, 2014; Wilkinson et al, 2018). Other studies have shown heightened suicidal ideation or attempts among HTM males (Coleman, 2015b; Pirkis et al, 2016) and earlier introduction into sexual activity (Udry & Chantala, 2004).…”

Objective We investigated whether male high school students displaying high traditional masculinity (HTM), defined briefly as overacting male roles, possessed distinctive social origins and adult lifestyle trajectories differentiating them from others. Method Based upon four survey waves of the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health cross‐linked to the National Death Index, we contrasted surveys 1 and 2 respondents reporting HTM, n = 3138, 31%, with the remaining 69% (n = 6849) on various sociodemographic characteristics, problem behaviors, suicides, and other premature mortalities. Results High traditional masculinity males showed higher suicide rates, but no other differences in premature mortalities, compared with non‐HTM peers. More likely to be White, younger, less close to their fathers, they were more likely to run away from home, get into fights, act delinquently, and engage in problem drinking and drug use. At survey wave 3, more had been arrested. By wave 4, when approaching their early thirties, HTM males showed higher drug uses, more delinquency, completed less schooling, and were less likely to marry. Conclusions These data not only suggest higher suicide risks among this population after high school, but judging from the durability of HTM characteristics, but also they appear at risk of “deaths of despair” during later life.

“…Boys might resort to such misbehaviors to demonstrate their masculinity. By doing so, they may inadvertently place themselves in a position where they are more likely to be victimized (Daigle & Mummert, 2014).

Peer victimization is a social problem for children and adolescents worldwide. This study examined the factor structure of peer victimization in relation to school life among Chinese adolescent students. The Multidimensional Peer-Victimization Scale (MPVS) was used to measure this phenomenon. We examined psychometric properties such as factor structure, factorial invariance across genders, area types (urban vs. rural), and time (Time 1 vs. Time 2), nomological network validity in relation to the symptoms of depression and anxiety, and internal consistency reliability of the MPVS in Chinese culture. We analyzed the results of a survey of 2,764 adolescents from six public secondary schools in Fujian Province, China; 50.8% of these participants were female, and their mean age was 13.967 years (SD = .843). Of these participants, 2,217 (51.2% female), with a mean age of 13.839 years (SD = .802), also completed the survey at Time 2. Fourfactor models were tested: a null model, a one-factor model, the hypothesized four-factor model, and a hierarchical model. The results revealed that the four-factor model exhibited the best fit and demonstrated factorial invariance across genders, area types, and time points. Future directions for research among Chinese adolescents were also discussed. Public Significance StatementThis study contributes to the literature concerning the Multidimensional Peer-Victimization Scale (MPVS) by validating its applicability in a Chinese context. Our findings indicate that researchers and professionals can use this scale to determine the prevalence of peer victimization and examine differences across genders, urban and rural areas, and time. This is the first study to test the area and time invariance of the MPVS by using a large-scale sample.

Sex‐Role Theory, Offending, and Victimization

Criminological research offers a myriad of variables and theories in an attempt to explain the sex gap in offending and victimization. Role theories, specifically sex‐role theory, provides one explanation for this sex gap. Sex‐role theory argues that biologically determined sex, not self‐identified gender, can explain disparities in offending and victimization rates between males and females. Specifically, sex‐role theory aims to clarify sex disparities in offending and victimization through the socialization process of self‐development. This entry includes a brief introduction to role theory, specifically sex‐role theory. In addition, this entry describes how sex‐role theory can be applied to sex disparities in offending and victimization. Overall, sex‐role theory attempts to explain the sex gap in offending and victimization rates based on the socialization process of self‐development, which is rooted in cultural norms and expectations of behavior.
