We sought to extend the empirical research on men's attitudes toward and willingness to seek career counseling by (a) relating men's career counseling attitudes to three related yet unique masculinity constructs from the masculine role socialization paradigm-masculinity ideology, conformity to masculine role norms, and masculine gender role conflict; and (b) exploring the incremental contribution (i.e., beyond gender role conflict and previous career counseling) of masculinity ideology and conformity to masculine role norms to the prediction of career counseling attitudes. Results of correlations and multiple regressions based on a sample of 179 college men revealed support for most of the hypothesized relations involving masculinity constructs and career counseling attitudes as well as the incremental contribution of masculinity ideology and conformity to masculine role norms to the prediction of career counseling attitudes.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
