Abstract in brief

  • The meta-analysis found that conforming to masculine norms is modestly linked to poorer mental health and less likelihood of seeking psychological help, based on data from 78 studies with nearly 20,000 participants.
  • Certain masculine norms, such as self-reliance, dominance over women, and being a playboy, are consistently associated with negative mental health outcomes, whereas the norm of prioritizing work is not significantly related.
  • The researchers suggest that future studies should focus on specific masculine norms rather than treating masculinity as a single broad concept, to better understand how different norms impact mental health and social functioning.]

Araştırmalara göre genel itibariyle erkeklerin daha az terapi almasının sebepleri 'toplumsal normlar' ve 'terapinin faydasına olan inanç' gibi gözüküyor. Bu konuda 19.453 katılımcının iştirak ettiği bir meta analize göre toplumsal normlar bu konuda etkili https://t.co/NMtWIZCqDi

@varnan_psycho Fairerweise muss man sagen, dass eine Meta-Analyse mit ähnlich großer Stichprobe, aber anderen Studiendesign, die gegenteilige Assoziation zeigt. Man könnte meinen, dass depressive Männer Zuflucht in einem Verhalten suchen, was vor Depressionen schützt. https://t.co/pL8UdBdeb8

@Trump_loving Do you have any evidence for this? We already know the "strong male" attitudes promoted by redpill communities contribute to DV, poor male mental health and suicide rates. https://t.co/TztQ8T29t8

@AndreasKemper Ach so, Sie benötigen eine explizite wissenschaftliche Definition mit "toxisch" im Explanandum und "selbst-destruktiv" im Explanans. Ist toxische so weit weg von hegemonieller M.? Und ist Selbstdestruktivität in Verbindung mit Toxizität derart abwegig? https://t.co/xHHYIDEuPN
