“…As a consequence of their skill deficit in identifying some of the basic affective components of their emotional experience, many alexithymic men approach their emotions in a solely cognitive manner (Levant, Halter, Hayden, & Williams, 2009) or may resort to aggression and violence when experiencing vulnerable emotions (Lynch & Kilmartin, 2013). Clinical research on alexithymia indicates that men experiencing normative male alexithymia are an at-risk group for treatment as men with alexithymia are at an increased risk of depression (Duddu, Isaac, & Chaturvedi, 2003;Greenberg, Shepard, Chuick, & Cochran, 2009) and have poorer outcomes in both individual and group psychotherapy (Ogrodniczuk, Piper, & Joyce, 2004).…”

Mental health professionals in college counseling centers are increasingly interested in understanding the challenges of effectively working with male college students. Not all men are difficult to work with in therapy, but certain masculine gender role norms, particularly restricted emotionality, can create challenges to the therapeutic process. However, therapeutic metaphors that are familiar to male clients can provide a safe entry point to emotional topics. We describe a framework of using metaphors with college men that involves connecting with interests of male clients, establishing rapport, and facilitating a nonthreatening common language to develop metaphors for exploration of vulnerable emotions. Brief case examples are then used to illustrate effective implementation of therapeutic metaphors with traditional male clients experiencing difficulty with emotions

“…Yaklaşık olarak son otuz yıldır yoğun bir şekilde incelenmeye başlanan ruminasyon kavramının, depresyon, kaygı, üzüntü, obsesyon ve olumsuz otomatik düşünceler gibi kavramlarla yakından ilgili olması, ruminasyonun oldukça önemli ve incelenmeye değer bir kavram olduğunu göstermektedir. Son yıllarda yapılan araştırmalar incelendiğinde, genel olarak olumsuz özelliklere sahip olan ruminasyon kavramının; empati (Burnette, Davis, Green, Worthington & Bradfield, 2009), yaşam doyumu (Ysseldyk, Matheson & Anisman, 2007) ve problem çözme (Ward, Lyubomirsky, Sousa & Nolen-Hoeksema, 2003) gibi değişkenlerle negatif yön-de; öfke (Rusting & Nolen-Hoeksema, 1998), etkisiz başa çıkma (Stöber, 2003), saldırgan davranış (Bushman, 2002), yaşantısal kaçınma (Neziroğlu, 2010) ve depresyon (Burnette ve ark., 2009;Greenberg, Chuick, Shepard & Cochran, 2009) gibi değişkenlerle pozitif yönde ilişkili olduğu tespit edilmiştir.…”

ÖzBu çalışmanın amacı, bir grup üniversite öğrencisi üzerinde, Wade, Vogel, Liao ve Goldman (2008) Abstract Adaptation of the Rumination About an Interpersonal Offense Scale into TurkishThe aim of the study is to adapt the Rumination about an Interpersonal Offense Scale (RIO) developed by Wade, Vogel, Liao and Goldman (2008) to Turkish on a group of university students. 450 students and 55 English teacher candidates from Pamukkale University participated in the study. The English and Turkish versions of the scale were carried out on English language teacher candidates to test the linguistic equivalence of the scale. Significant positive correlation was found (r=0.77) between English and Turkish version scores. The results of confirmatory factor analysis demonstrated that this scale yielded a single factor like original form (c 2 /sd=3.82, p<0.001, RMSEA=0.096, SRMR=0.04, GFI=0.97, AGFI=0.92, CFI=0.98). Corrected item-total correlations ranged from 0.48 to 0.80. The Cronbach alpha internal consistency coefficient of the scale was 0.88 and test-retest correlation was 0.76. Calculations for criterion-related validity of RIO were found to be positively related to negative affect; negatively related to positive affect and forgiveness significantly. The results of the validity and reliability analysis for the scale indicate that it can be used as a valid and reliable measurement tool.

“…For example, in a study of undergraduate university men, conformity to masculine norms was associated with greater likelihood for drinking alcohol as well as exercising, in response to participants’ assessment of a vignette describing symptoms consistent with major depression (Mahalik and Rochlen, 2006). A small but novel study compared a clinical sample of depressed college men with a non-clinical sample, and found similar levels of adherence to masculine norms in both groups, but no significant relationship between anger and depression (Greenberg et al, 2009). Overall, the findings from surveys administering the GRCS and CMNI have predicted that college men who align to masculine ideals are more likely to experience depression and less likely to seek help, but these study findings could not be generalized to college men who are diagnosed with, or self-identify as depressed.…”

Faux masculinities among college men who experience depression

Depression is a significant problem among college men that can be complicated by masculine ideals of stoicism, reluctance to seek help, and risky self-management strategies. Underpinning these issues are complexities in recognizing what behaviors might be indicative of college men's depressive symptoms. Findings drawn from a qualitative study of 25 Canadian-based college men who self-identified or were diagnosed with depression revealed three predominant masculine identities: the angry man; the solitary man; and the risk-reliant man. Within each of these themes men embodied aspects of idealized masculinity that were difficult to distinguish as symptoms of depression or as representative of the activities with which many college men partake. The angry man identity described men who expressed anger, at least in part, to dissipate depression invoked pain and emotional distress. The solitary man category included men who self-isolated, fearing that others would recognize and judge them as harboring depression. Risk-reliant men employed strategies including alcohol and other drug overuse rather than relinquish control by engaging with professional health care providers and services. Guided by the overall findings we argue this phenomenon as 'faux masculinities' - characterized by men's engagement in practices consistent with idealized masculine identities but that emerge from and/or in response to the experience of depression. Faux masculinities are discussed within the context of the challenges posed for college men and their health care providers in pointing toward targeted depression interventions.
