Mail: Masculinity

Graduate Mail: Masculinity Module


OVERVIEW

A person's idea about what makes someone "masculine" is one component of
identity that may impact various facets of a man's adult life--including
health.  We measured several aspects of masculinity ideals in one-half of the
WLS sample.  The areas of masculinity ideals we covered included people's
perceptions of how men and women differ as well as how men "should" or "should
not" express their emotions.
