“…For example, self-esteem was negatively related to competition and restrictive emotionality, characteristics of machismo, among predominantly White men (Mahalik et al, 2001). In addition, conformity to masculinity norms was negatively related to self-esteem among Black men (Mahalik, Pierre, & Wan, 2006).…”

The current study examined the role of sociodemographic factors of income, education level, and immigration status, as well as bilinear Latino masculinity (i.e., machismo and caballerismo) on self esteem among 70 Mexican day laborers, A hierarchical regression analysis revealed in the final model that immigration status was a significant negative predictor of self-esteem, whereas caballerismo was significantly positively related to self-esteem. An interaction effect between machismo and caballerismo suggested that caballerismo served as a protective factor against the role of machismo on self-esteem. In addition, findings suggested men who scored low or high on both machismo and caballerismo scored higher on self-esteem than men who scored high or low on one but not the other. Implications for practice and research are discussed.

“…Evidence indicates that U.S. ethnic groups vary in their definition of and adherence to mainstream, or White, norms (Hammond and Mattis 2005;Ojeda et al 2008;Pompper 2010), and adherence to masculine ideology similarly varies according to cultural and contextual factors such as ethnicity (e.g., Abreu et al 2000;Wester et al 2006), age (e.g., Abreu et al 2000;Mahalik et al 2001;Smiler 2006), social class (e.g., Liu 2002) and sexual orientation (e.g., Wester et al 2005). One example of how different intersecting identities can affect definitions of self and occupation comes from research on fathering; low-to middle-SES men who provided at least 15 h of solo childcare per week saw themselves as Bhelping^their wives provide care, but still identified their primary role as breadwinner; this is a marked contrast from a group of highly educated and high SES men who chose to become and identified themselves as full time caregivers (Deutsch and Saxon 1998;Rochlen et al 2008).…”

Men in Female-Dominated Vocations: a Rationale for Academic Study and Introduction to the Special Issue

This introduction to the special issue on men in female-dominated vocations provides a rationale for examining this topic. To date, this topic has garnered relatively little research attention even though work is often identified as a central aspect of men's identity. Although millions of men perform Bwomen's work^in a broad range of fields, the extant database around the world focuses primarily on male nurses and teachers and tends to focus on ways to recruit and retain men in these professions. We argue that studying men in female-dominated vocations is important because it furthers our understanding of the workplace in general, as well as the ways in which men experience, understand, and navigate challenges to their masculinity. Moreover, expanding our knowledge of men in female-dominated vocations has important theoretical implications for theories addressing gender-based equality and power dynamics, the psychology of men and masculinity, and intersecting identities (or intersectionality). After a brief overview of the literature and establishing this rationale, we introduce the articles in the special issue. The majority of the papers in this special issue are based on U.S. samples, with one exception from the U.K.

“…The passive behaviors characteristic of attachment-related avoidance (e.g., withdrawing from the partner and becoming more self-reliant in times of distress) might be more prevalent and destructive for men’s progress in therapy than it is for women. Because avoidance is more typical of the masculine gender role and expectations (Lindley & Schwartz, 2006; Mahalik et al, 2001), it is possible that avoidance behaviors and disengagement may be more difficult to alter among men than women. Previous research has nonetheless found that attachment-related avoidance and avoidance behaviors decrease over the course of couple therapy (Burgess-Moser et al, 2016), suggesting that changes in disengagement are not unlikely over the course of couple therapy, even in highly avoidant individuals.…”

The present study examined whether romantic disengagement decreases over the course of couple therapy and whether attachment insecurities are associated with partners' levels of romantic disengagement after 15 weeks of couple therapy. Participants included 163 mixed-sex couples seeking couple therapy in a private psychotherapy clinic, and 11 therapists using primarily Emotionally Focused Therapy and Integrative Behavioral Couple Therapy modalities. Partners completed the Experiences in Close Relationships questionnaire at intake and the Romantic Disengagement Scale at intake and 15 weeks into therapy. Depression and relationship satisfaction scores were also obtained and controlled for in the analyses. Results of a repeated-measure ANCOVA revealed an overall decrease in both partners' level of disengagement when couples undergo 15 weeks of therapy. Findings, however, suggest that attachment insecurities play a role in the extent to which men's level of disengagement decreases over the course of couple therapy. Path analyses revealed that men higher on attachment avoidance reported greater romantic disengagement at follow-up. Findings are discussed in light of clinical interventions for couple therapy.
