Utilizing cross-sectional data from an online survey collected from a nationwide sample of women college engineers in the United States ( <jats:italic>N</jats:italic> = 332), this study finds that gender essentialist beliefs among women who have entered a gender non-normative domain are quite low, yet there is variation by racial identity and social class background. Specifically, Black women with lower levels of parental education report significantly stronger essentialist beliefs than other groups. Further, analyses revealed that gender essentialist beliefs among women college engineers significantly predicted both a) higher levels of endorsement of the notion that their field is highly meritocratic and b) lower levels of awareness of the structural nature of gender inequality in engineering. Overall, the study makes a new contribution by examining how beliefs held among the next generation of women engineers could ultimately serve to reinforce gender inequality.","PeriodicalId":48425,"journal":{"name":"Sex Roles","volume":"30 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2025-12-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145703894","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We chose two countries that differed in the rigidity of gender norms (i.e., Norway and Poland) and conducted two cross-sectional, cross-national studies to test these hypotheses: an exploratory pilot study (Study 1) and a main study with preregistered hypotheses (Study 2). In Study 1, 238 young men (aged 16–25), 82 from Norway ( <jats:italic>M</jats:italic> <jats:sub>age</jats:sub> = 20.8 years, <jats:italic>SD</jats:italic> = 2.7) and 156 from Poland ( <jats:italic>M</jats:italic> <jats:sub>age</jats:sub> = 20.8, <jats:italic>SD</jats:italic> = 2.0), completed an online questionnaire about perceived gender norms and self-ratings of agentic and communal traits, well-being, and satisfaction with life. In Study 2, teenage boys (aged 16–19) in their 1st and 2nd year of high school participated (213 Norwegian boys: <jats:italic>M</jats:italic> <jats:sub>age</jats:sub> = 17.0, <jats:italic>SD</jats:italic> = 0.3; 507 Polish boys: <jats:italic>M</jats:italic> <jats:sub>age</jats:sub> = 16.4, <jats:italic>SD</jats:italic> = 0.6). The more the young men negatively deviated from the perceived masculine norms within their society, the lower their well-being and satisfaction with life, regardless of nationality. The negative relationship between norm deviation and well-being remained significant when controlling for self-ratings in agency. Our findings suggest that helping young men navigate masculinity more flexibly, by addressing the psychological toll of not meeting agentic norms and promoting acceptance of a broader range of traits, could support their well-being and guide effective interventions for educators and policymakers.","PeriodicalId":48425,"journal":{"name":"Sex Roles","volume":"14 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2025-12-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145680168","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
