“…Traditional gender view was one item. Respondents indicated how strongly they agreed (“strongly disagree” = 1; “strongly agree” = 5) with, “In most relationships the guy should be in charge” (Pleck,Sonenstein, & Ku, 1993). The mean score was 2.43, relatively neutral, but men were more likely to agree with this statement.…”

Gainful Activity and Intimate Partner Aggression in Emerging Adulthood

et al. 2013

Although intimate partner aggression crosses social class boundaries, education and income are important predictors. Yet given that emerging adulthood is a transitional period, completed education and employment, as single measures, are not ideal indicators of socioeconomic status for young people. We examined associations between self-reports of gainful activity, defined as enrollment in school or full-time employment, and intimate partner aggression among young adults in dating, cohabiting, or married relationships (N=648). Both men and women's participation in gainful activity was negatively associated with aggression. We found that when neither partner was gainfully active, individuals reported higher frequency of physical aggression. In cases of gainful activity asymmetry, the gender of the gainfully active partner did not predict intimate partner aggression. Additionally, we found no evidence that the association between gainful activity and frequency of intimate partner aggression differed by union type.

“…But those who adhere most to “traditional” beliefs about masculinity—for instance, that men should be tough, have status in society, not behave in ways marked as “feminine,” and regularly have heterosexual sex— are most at risk for negative consequences compared to other boys and men. Those who embrace such traditional attitudes toward masculinity tend to also report more sexual partners, engage in more unprotected vaginal sex, and show less self-efficacy and consistency in condom use (Noar and Morokoff 2002; Pleck et al 1993, 1994; Santana et al 2006; Shearer et al 2005). …”

Scientific research has made major contributions to adolescent health by providing insights into factors that influence it and by defining ways to improve it. However, US adolescent sexual and reproductive health policies—particularly sexuality health education policies and programs—have not benefited from the full scope of scientific understanding. From 1998 to 2009, federal funding for sexuality education focused almost exclusively on ineffective and scientifically inaccurate abstinence-only-until-marriage (AOUM) programs. Since 2010, the largest source of federal funding for sexual health education has been the “tier 1” funding of the Office of Adolescent Health’s Teen Pregnancy Prevention Initiative. To be eligible for such funds, public and private entities must choose from a list of 35 programs that have been designated as “evidence-based” interventions (EBIs), determined based on their effectiveness at preventing teen pregnancies, reducing sexually transmitted infections, or reducing rates of sexual risk behaviors (i.e., sexual activity, contraceptive use, or number of partners). Although the transition from primarily AOUM to EBI is important progress, this definition of evidence is narrow and ignores factors known to play key roles in adolescent sexual and reproductive health. Important bodies of evidence are not treated as part of the essential evidence base, including research on lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and questioning (LGBTQ) youth; gender; and economic inequalities and health. These bodies of evidence underscore the need for sexual health education to approach adolescent sexuality holistically, to be inclusive of all youth, and to address and mitigate the impact of structural inequities. We provide recommendations to improve US sexual health education and to strengthen the translation of science into programs and policy.

“…Contemporary hegemonic adult masculinity often focuses on characteristics that negatively influence close relationships, such as aggression (including sexual aggression), a primary desire to satisfy sexual drives, and the objectification of women; characteristics such as the desire and capacity for intimate companionship within a romantic relationship and the ability to express emotions are considered un-masculine. [4–7] However, some aspects of masculinity, such as protecting loved ones, support relationships. [8]…”

Masculinity in Adolescent Males’ Early Romantic and Sexual Heterosexual Relationships

2014

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

There is a need to better understand the complex inter-relationship between the adoption of masculinity during adolescence and the development of early romantic and sexual relationships. The purpose of this study was to describe features of adolescent masculinity and how it is expressed in the contexts of early to middle adolescent males’ romantic and sexual relationships. Thirty- three 14–16 year old males were recruited from an adolescent clinic serving a community with high STI rates, and were asked open ended questions about their relationships-- how they developed, progressed, and ended. Participants described a high degree of relationally-oriented beliefs and behaviors related to romantic and sexual relationships, such as a desire for intimacy and trust. They also described a more limited degree of conventionally masculine beliefs and behaviors. These often co-existed or overlapped. Implications for the clinical care of similar groups of adolescents are described.
