摘要

人类天生就会寻找社会联系,并监测他们的归属感可能处于危险之中的警告信号。社会身份提供了一种机制,通过这种机制来监控归属感,塑造人们如何理解和看待自己,以及他人如何看待他们。本大型定性研究(n = 203)整合了归属心理需求理论模型、角色一致性理论和社会认同理论,提出了自我认同的男同性恋和直男男性气质威胁的双途径模型。利用反身性主题分析对男性威胁经历的编码描述,我们确定了两种经历威胁的情境:(1)通过私人和公共角色不协调的经历;(2)通过公共社会拒绝的经历。此外,所经历的威胁的内容跨越六个主题:(a)感知到的女性气质;(b)异规范性偏离;(c)能力;(d)物理原型;(e)社会原型和(f)社会测量仪。值得注意的是,少数认为自己从未经历过男子气概威胁的男性更有可能相信这是因为他们从与他人的联系中获得了积极的关注和自尊。这些发现以有意义的方式补充和扩展了现有的关于男子气概威胁的研究:首先,他们表明性别角色不一致会导致直男和同性恋男性的男子气概威胁。其次,他们强调社会包容在同性恋和异性恋男性的男子气概体验中也起着重要作用。此外,研究结果对于理解何时、对谁来说,男性威胁可能导致反社会行为具有重要意义。

The Dual Pathways to Masculinity Threats: The Roles of Social Role Incongruity and Social Connection in Masculine Identity Maintenance Among Gay and Straight Men

Humans are hardwired to seek out social connections, as well as monitor for warning signs that their belonging may be at risk. Social identities provide a mechanism through which to monitor belonging, shaping how people understand and see themselves, as well as how they are perceived by others. This large qualitative study (= 203) presents a dual-pathway model of masculinity threats for self-identified gay and straight men, integrating theoretical models of the psychological need to belong, role congruity theory and social identity theory. Using reflexive thematic analysis to code descriptions of masculinity-threatening experiences, we identified two contexts in which threats were experienced: (1) through private and public experiences of role incongruity and (2) through public experiences with social rejection. Furthermore, the content of threats experienced spanned six themes: (a) perceived femininity; (b) deviation from heteronormativity; (c) competency; (d) physical prototypicality; (e) social prototypicality and (f) sociometer. Notably, the few men who felt they had never experienced a masculinity threat before were more likely to believe this was due to the positive regard and self-esteem they derive from their connections with others. The findings complement and extend the existing research on masculinity threats in meaningful ways: First, they show that gender-role incongruity can lead to masculinity threats for both straight and gay men. Second, they highlight that social inclusion also plays a significant role in both gay and straight men's experiences with masculinity. Furthermore, the findings have important implications for understanding when, and for whom, masculinity threats may lead to antisocial behaviours.
