BACKGROUND
In our society, adherence to feminine traits by the female gender had been culturally promoted and socially desired. A few studies, however, entertained the possibility that healthy men and women have some common attributes in their gender orientation. Androgyny and masculinity were found related to positive mental health.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
A cross-sectional study was conducted to assess the level of masculinity and femininity and its relationship with the perception of stress and various psychopathology including anxiety and depression.
RESULTS
Masculinity scores of the participants negatively correlated while femininity scores positively correlated with the scores on General Health Questionnaire, Beck's Depressive Inventory, Beck's Anxiety Inventory, and Perceived Stress Scale.
CONCLUSION
Androgyny is psychoprotective. Empowerment-oriented psychological approaches aimed to encourage psychological androgyny, and masculinity might be therapeutic.
背景
在我们的社会中，女性对女性特质的遵循在文化上得到宣扬，在社会上也受到推崇。然而，一些研究探讨了健康的男性和女性在性别取向方面可能具有一些共同特征的可能性。研究发现双性化和男性化与积极的心理健康有关。
材料与方法
开展了一项横断面研究，以评估男性化和女性化水平及其与压力感知以及包括焦虑和抑郁在内的各种精神病理学之间的关系。
结果
参与者的男性化得分与一般健康问卷、贝克抑郁量表、贝克焦虑量表和感知压力量表的得分呈负相关，而女性化得分与这些量表的得分呈正相关。
结论
双性化具有心理保护作用。旨在鼓励心理双性化和男性化的赋权导向型心理方法可能具有治疗作用。
