Previous research has shown that excessive cardiovascular reactivity may be important in the development of coronary heart disease. The present study examined the role of masculine cognitive appraisal of stress as a mediator of cardiovascular reactivity in men. The reactivity of men who differed on a measure of individual differences in men's cognitive appraisal of masculine gender role stress (MGRS) were compared on the cold-pressor test under conditions of high and low masculine performance challenge. Under conditions of minimal challenge, it was predicted that high- and low-MGRS men would not differ on reactivity. Under high challenge, high-MGRS men were expected to show greater reactivity than were low-MGRS men. Analysis of results for systolic blood pressure confirmed the major predictions. High-MGRS men showed greater systolic blood pressure reactivity than did low-MGRS men under high but not low masculine challenge. The implications of MGRS appraisal for men's health are discussed.
先前的研究表明，过度的心血管反应性可能在冠心病的发展中起重要作用。本研究考察了男性对压力的男性化认知评估作为心血管反应性中介因素的作用。在男性对男性性别角色压力（MGRS）的认知评估存在个体差异的测量指标上存在差异的男性，在高和低男性化表现挑战条件下的冷加压试验中，对其反应性进行了比较。在最小挑战条件下，预计高MGRS和低MGRS男性在反应性上不会有差异。在高挑战条件下，预计高MGRS男性比低MGRS男性表现出更大的反应性。收缩压结果分析证实了主要预测。在高男性化挑战而非低男性化挑战下，高MGRS男性比低MGRS男性表现出更大的收缩压反应性。讨论了MGRS评估对男性健康的影响。
