“…However, surprisingly absent from this literature are investigations of the extent to which men’s heavy alcohol use may affect these relations. This is remarkable given the established interrelationships among masculinity, alcohol use, and intimate partner aggression in North American samples (Iwamoto, Corbin, Lejuez, and MacPherson, 2014; Leonard 2005; McCreary, Newcomb, and Sadava 1999; Towns, Parker, and Chase 2012; Uy, Massoth, and Gottdiener 2014). Although variability exists across countries, extant literature drawn from myriad countries indicates that alcohol consumption is positively associated with the perpetration of aggression (World Health Organization 2007).…”

The aim of the present study was to examine the mediational effect of masculine gender role stress on the relation between adherence to dimensions of a hegemonic masculinity and male-to-female intimate partner physical aggression. Men’s history of heavy episodic drinking was also examined as a moderator of the proposed mediation effect. A sample of 392 heterosexual men from the southeastern United States who had been in an intimate relationship within the past year completed measures of hegemonic masculine norms (i.e., status, toughness, and antifemininity), masculine gender role stress, alcohol use patterns, and intimate partner physical aggression. Results indicated that the indirect effects of adherence to the antifemininity and toughness norms on physical aggression toward female intimate partners via masculine gender role stress were significant and marginal, respectively. A significant indirect effect of status was not detected. Moreover, subsequent analyses revealed that the indirect effects of antifemininity and toughness were significant only among men with a history of heavy episodic drinking. These findings suggest that heavy episodic drinking exacerbates a gender-relevant stress pathway for intimate partner aggression among men who adhere to specific norms of masculinity. Overall, results suggest that the proximal effect of heavy episodic drinking focuses men’s attention on gender-based schemas associated with antifemininity and toughness, which facilitates partner-directed aggression as a means to demonstrate these aspects of their masculinity. Implications for the intersection between men’s adherence to specific norms of hegemonic masculinity, cognitive appraisal of gender relevant situations, and characteristic patterns of alcohol consumption are discussed.

“…En tercer lugar, la utilización del Gender Role Conflict Scale (GRCS) permitió señalar una relación directa, con un tamaño del efecto moderado, entre las dimensiones éxito, poder y competición de esta prueba y el número de bebidas alcohólicas por episodio (Good et al, 2008). Esta escala fue aplicada en otro estudio junto con el instrumento Male Role Norms Inventory Revised (MRNI-R) obteniendo resultados, con una magnitud del efecto grande, que relacionaban el consumo de alcohol en hombres con ideología tradicional masculina (Uy, Massoth y Gottdiener, 2014). En la misma línea, pero con un tamaño del efecto pequeño, y utilizando el instrumento Masculine Role Norms Scale (MRNS), se relacionaron ciertos aspectos de la masculinidad tradicional como, por ejemplo, dureza o "toughness" con el consumo de alcohol (Gordon et al, 2013).…”

“…Uno de los principales aspectos observados en esta revisión ha sido la diversidad de conclusiones a las que han llegado los distintos autores. Esto podría ser explicado por la variabilidad de cuestionarios utilizados y las diferentes características y procedencias de las muestras objeto de es- Uy et al (2014) EEUU Analizar el vínculo entre la ideología tradicional masculina, el conflicto de roles de género, los motivos para consumir y el consumo de alcohol.…”

There are different profiles of alcohol consumption for men and women, and different courses and prognoses associated with problems caused by alcohol abuse. There is evidence of these differences by sex, but research on their links to differences associated with gender dimensions is scarcer. In order to know what has been researched on the subject, this article reviews the literature regarding the relationship between conformity with gender norms and alcohol use and/or abuse in adults. A systematic review was conducted using the electronic databases of PubMed, PsycINFO and ScienceDirect. Twenty-four articles published in English or Spanish were included and analysed. The main findings were: 1) conformity to norms associated with traditional masculine role (dominance, womanising, aggressiveness, risk behaviours) is related to greater alcohol use; 2) conformity to norms associated with traditional feminine role (interest in home life and family care) is related with lower alcohol use. These findings provide evidence of the relationship between dimensions associated with gender and drinking. It is considered that the possibilities of modifying beliefs and gender patterns linked to risk behaviours is an aspect to be taken into account in the field of prevention, with the development of gender measures a necessary task to further deepen the study of these relationships.

“…Clarification may be offered to these findings in future research by assessing the relationship of different dimensions of Latina/o TGRB and motives for drinking. A small body of research considers drinking motives in relation to gender roles (e.g., Fugitt, Ham, & Bridges, 2017; Uy, Massoth, & Gottdiener, 2014), however this is an underdeveloped area of research among Latina/os.…”

Background Latina/o college students have been shown to engage in more high risk drinking behavior than students from other ethnic minority groups, and are more likely to experience certain negative alcohol related consequences as a result of drinking. Previous research links stress to drinking among college students and indicates drinking occurs within a gendered context. Although this suggests an effect of gender role socialization, studies exploring these relationships among Latina/os are lacking. Objectives To explore potential relationships of stress, gender role prescriptions of the heritage culture, and drinking among Latina/o college students. Specifically, to explore potential interactions between stress and multiple dimensions of machismo and marianismo as related to alcohol use. Method Latina/o undergraduates (N = 248) completed a questionnaire. Self-reported stress, quantity of alcohol consumption, and frequency of binge drinking were recorded for all participants. Gender role prescriptions were assessed via endorsement of two dimensions of machismo (men) or two dimensions of marianismo (women). Results Stress was positively related to general quantity for women. Each dimension of machismo was distinctly related to binge drinking for men. Significant interactions emerged between both machismo and marianismo and stress as related to both alcohol use outcomes. For women, the moderating pattern between marianismo and stress varied according to type of alcohol use. Conclusions/Importance Gender role beliefs influence the relationship between stress and alcohol use among Latina/o college students. Future research should account for the intersection of gender and culture when considering the stress-alcohol relationship.
