“…We observed statistically significant correlations between NMA, perceived social support, and self-reported depressive symptoms among active and retired players. These results align with previous studies indicating that greater NMA is associated with lower psychological wellbeing (Guvensel et al, 2017). The finding that lower perceived social support was associated with greater depressive symptomatology is also unsurprising in the context of previous research showing social connectedness is protective against depression in athletes (Armstrong & Oomen-Early, 2009).…”

“…Researchers propose that NMA occurs on a continuum that corresponds to the degree of socialization to masculine gender norms (Levant et al, 2014). NMA is associated with poor communication quality (Karakis & Levant, 2012), lower relationship satisfaction (Lentz, 2017), and decreased psychological wellbeing (Guvensel, Dixon, Chang, & Dew, 2017). These findings align with masculine dysfunction strain theory (Levant, 1996), which posits that pressure to adhere to masculine gender norms can be a psychological burden for men, resulting in increased anxiety and depression.…”

This study presents data on self-reported depressive symptoms in active and retired professional hockey players and examines psychosocial factors related to depressive symptoms. Data were derived from an online survey that was sent to 1,276 active players and approximately 4,000 retired players in the Professional Hockey Players’ Association (PHPA). A total of 409 participants completed the survey, representing 56% of those who opened the survey link. In our sample, retired players reported moderate to very severe levels of depressive symptoms at nearly twice the rate of active players, and at rates higher than those reported for the general population. For both retired and active players, greater normative male alexithymia (NMA) was associated with greater depressive symptoms. Compared with active players, retired players perceived themselves as having lower social support from their family and friends, and across the entire sample, lower perceived social support was related to greater depressive symptoms. These findings suggest that preventative mental health interventions targeting NMA and access to social support may benefit retired professional hockey players and those transitioning to retirement.

“…Wong and colleagues have also found that restricted emotionality is associated with unfavorable attitudes toward emotional expression ( Wong, Pituch, & Rochlen, 2006 ). Furthermore, GRC has been linked to alexithymia ( Guvensel, Dixon, Chang, & Dew, 2017 ). In sum, there appears to be a relationship between GRC and measures of unwillingness or inability to engage with internal emotional experiences.…”

Psychological inflexibility or experiential avoidance (EA) is an important construct in the understanding of psychological distress. Both EA and many forms of masculinity can be characterized by inflexibility in men’s responses to negative intrapersonal experiences. The current cross-sectional, community-based study investigated whether experiential avoidance mediated the relationship between gender role conflict (GRC) and psychological distress (PD). A total of 120 men (M = 35.63, SD = 12.22) completed an online questionnaire measuring key study variables. Results indicated that experiential avoidance significantly mediated the relationship between each of the four recognized patterns of GRC and PD. These findings suggest that EA may be a potential mechanism through which GRC is associated with PD.

“…The relationship between femininity and life satisfaction was only seen in women who had high levels of social support, and the relationship between self-esteem and life satisfaction was only seen in men who had low levels of masculinity, according to research on the relationship between femininity and life satisfaction in men and women. These findings shed light on the importance of gender roles observance in life happiness (Guvensel, Dixon, Chang, & Dew, 2018).…”

The study's goal is to investigate the relationship between obesity and resilience and how it affects people's ability to enjoy their lives. The sample of consisted of 400 participants incorporating both male and females (Male 200 Female 200). Age (15 to 30 years), gender, education (intermediate to higher education), marital status (single or married), and domicile were among the demographic factors that were examined in the study (Faisalabad). The Life Satisfaction Scale, the Brief Resilience Scale, and the participants' BMI were the instruments utilized to measure the study's variables. Following data collection, the data were examined using analysis of variance (ANOVA) for repeated measures and univariate data, as well as inferential statistics for analyzing interactions. The relation between variables and was also evaluated using the Pearson product moment correlations. Descriptive statistics were used to describe participants’ characteristics. According to the study's findings, there is a stronger negative link between obesity and life satisfaction among both male and female students after data analysis. Additionally, there is a strong positive correlation between resilience and life satisfaction in both male and female students. Additionally, the study discovered a negative correlation between age and marital status and a positive significant link between age and BMI. The correlation study established a stronger link between married status and body mass index. Additionally, the investigation discovered a bad relationship between resilience and marital status. Though not very substantial, there is a favorable correlation between married status and life satisfaction. The relationship analysis established a more solid negative relationship between resilience and BMI. Score as evidenced Following these discoveries, it was assumed that gender, body mass index (BMI), resilience, and life satisfaction had a significant relationship. Age, marital status, and gender are just a few of the statistical elements that have been found to have a significant influence on the level of resilience, life satisfaction, and BMI.
