Research suggests that many men report loneliness and desire more intimate relationships. The Interpersonal Process Model of Intimacy posits that intimacy, the meaningful connection between two individuals, is a critical variable in preventing loneliness and develops through a bidirectional process of vulnerable self-disclosure, responsiveness, and perceived partner responsiveness. This manuscript applies the Interpersonal Process Model of Intimacy, as interpreted from a contextual behavior science lens, to contextualize the existing research on masculinity and men's social relationships to inform future research and clinical practice. We review the research on men's engagement in different components of the model (vulnerable self-disclosure, responsiveness, perceived partner responsiveness), emphasizing how masculinity informs men's behavior. Research indicates that men often do not engage in behaviors essential to a contextual behavioral model of intimacy (e.g., vulnerable emotions, distress, or asking for help) because such behaviors are inconsistent with masculinity. Research also indicates men often do not acknowledge others' disclosures or respond with judgment or confusion. Men may also perceive responsiveness as stressful due to social proscriptions regarding receiving help. We discuss implications for research and clinical interventions to ameliorate men's loneliness.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47544,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Contextual Behavioral Science","volume":"36 ","pages":"Article 100892"},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2025-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143876729","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We analyzed responses to semi-structured interviews performed at 1-month post-treatment using an inductive thematic approach and found four overarching themes: Shift in Internal State, Engaging in Life, Symptom Relief, and Group Dynamics. The Shift in Internal State and Engaging in Life themes and sub-themes reflected important elements of psychological flexibility as defined within ACT, including pain acceptance, change in the experience of thoughts and emotions, improvement in daily functioning and movement towards personal values. The Symptom Relief theme was primarily supported by descriptions of the utility of mindfulness meditation for pain and stress relief. The Group Dynamics theme highlighted the importance of member-member and member-facilitator relationships.

Therefore, there is a need to design and apply university-based interventions that are easily accessible to college students. Transdiagnostic Internet-based Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (TACT) has been widely utilized due to its low cost and scalability; however, to date, its effectiveness and cross-cultural adaptation in mainland China remain to be studied. University students were recruited and randomly assigned to either a) the intervention group (n = 48, Student COMPASS Enhanced Course), which received the I-ACT intervention course with cross-cultural adaptation modifications, or b) the control group (n = 48, Student COMPASS Course), which received the Student COMPASS Course, in a randomized controlled trial design. The Student COMPASS Enhanced Course is a program that has undergone cultural adaptation improvements. The course utilizes the Theoretical Model of Confucian Self-Development as the ethical guideline, while mapping Zeng Guofan's (1811–1872) experience of self-cultivating to the six sub-processes of psychological flexibility and become the essential part of the course. Participants all received a post-intervention assessment after 7 weeks and a follow-up assessment after 15 weeks. The results indicated time effects across all symptom measures (ISI, GHQ-12, PPFI, ESS, DASS-21, and AAQ-II), suggesting significant improvements in mental health, sleep health, and psychological flexibility over time in both the intervention and control groups. Additionally, between-group main effects were observed for PPFI, ESS, DASS-21, and AAQ-II scores.
