“…At the same time, multilevel research assessing masculinities at both group and individual levels suggest that macro masculinities and self-ascribed masculinities each have independent effects on people's attitudes and behaviors (see Figure 1). For instance, studies that simultaneously assessed group-level and individual-level conformity to masculine norms have found that different masculine norms at both the group (fraternity chapter) and individual levels were uniquely associated with U.S. college men's alcohol consumption and endorsement of social dominance hazing motivations (McCready, 2019a(McCready, , 2019b.…”

Despite advances in the psychological study of masculinities, the term "masculinity" or "masculinities" has been conceptualized differently across diverse theoretical approaches. To address these challenges, this article seeks to integrate the myriad ways that masculinities have been studied by scholars. Drawing on scholarship from various fields, the authors delineate fived domains of masculinities-self-ascribed, other-ascribed, situational, performative, and macro masculinities. Reflecting an integration of these five domains, masculinities are conceived as the constellation of cultural and individual meanings attached to men and boys that are (a) attributed to the self as well as to (b) people, concepts, and objects; (c) embedded in situational cues; (d) performed as social practices; and (e) distributed through ecological influences. The authors propose a framework that pieces together these domains of masculinities, describes how they differ in their stability and proximity of influence on people's lives, and explicates their linkages with each other. Finally, the authors explain how the framework and the five domains can guide future psychological research and practice. Public Significance StatementThis article provides a definition of masculinities by integrating scholarship from different fields of study. The authors describe five domains of masculinities that can guide future research and practice.

“…The purpose of the study is to examine if the sexual assault attitudes of fraternity men vary between chapters and to identify if chapter traditional masculine norm climates predict these attitudes. Because we rely on the same data set, we also examine how the relationships among these climates and attitudes compare and contrast with those of McCready (2019McCready ( , 2020.…”

“…The statistically significant relationships between collective fraternity chapter power over women climate and three of four sexual assault attitudes are also noteworthy because this climate was not found to be associated with members' alcohol consumption or endorsement of hazing in studies that relied on the same data set (McCready, 2019(McCready, , 2020. While patriarchal fraternity chapter cultures may influence members to objectify women and minimize sexual assault in order to earn or maintain their manhood, members may learn that alcohol and hazing are less effective mechanisms to garner this gender status within these settings.…”

Relying on data collected from a single historically White college social men's fraternity (N = 2,691) represented at 77 higher education institutions in the United States and Canada, we utilized multilevel modeling to explore if collective chapter traditional masculine norm climates, as well as individual masculinity norm conformity, predicted the variance of members' endorsement of minimization, solidarity, survivor-blaming, and survivor support sexual assault attitudes. We also examined if these attitudes varied significantly between fraternity chapters. The findings indicate masculine norm climates and individual masculine norm conformity predict these attitudes. In addition, the results suggest that sexual assault attitudes vary between fraternity chapters. Public Significance StatementSexual assault attitudes of fraternity men may vary between fraternity chapters. The collective power over women chapter climates of fraternity chapters was positively associated with attitudes that minimize sexual assault and blame survivors and negatively associated with survivor support.

“…Indeed, alcohol can be considered a defining factor in the risk of sexual violence and other kinds of risk-taking in these same-gender groups, as it accounts for much of the variability in sexual assault and injury (Testa & Cleveland, 2017). For example, masculine gender norm climate, above membership in a fraternity alone, predicted rates of alcohol consumption in a large sample of undergraduate men in the U.S. (McCready, 2019). Collectively, this work suggests that there may be particular culture-sharing groups that consume more alcohol and have prior documented proclivities toward sexual harassment and objectification of women offline as a way to build cohesion.…”

Slutpage Use Among U.S. College Students: The Secret and Social Platforms of Image-Based Sexual Abuse

et al. 2021

The phenomenon of "slutpages," tied to high schools, fraternities, and the military, used to post, share, and comment on nude and semi-nude images of women, has emerged in mass media. To our knowledge, this is the first study to empirically investigate slutpage use behaviors including: visiting slutpages, posting nude images/videos online without consent, and using a vault app to store/share nude images. We conducted a survey of undergraduate college students attending a large Midwestern university in the U.S., with 1867 respondents (36.4% cis/transgender men, 63.6% cisgender women; 18-24 years old M = 20.39) to determine who is engaging in slutpage use behaviors. Our results showed that younger participants and men were more likely to engage in slutpage use behaviors than older participants and women, especially if they participated in Greek Life or played a team sport for their university. Men in a fraternity or on a team sport visited slutpages and posted nude images/video online without consent more frequently than men outside these groups, or women in general. Drinking alcohol and using pornography more frequently were also associated with slutpage use behaviors. This study provides a new understanding of slutpages as a social form of image-based sexual abuse and informs researchers, educators, and policy makers to expand their inquiry into online sexual experiences and exploitation to include this phenomenon.
