This study investigated whether gender moderated the association between masculine socialization pressures of restrictive emotionality and suicide risk through suicide capability (i.e., fearlessness about death). A sample of inpatients admitted for recent suicidality ( = 194) completed validated measures of restrictive emotionality, fearlessness about death, and current suicide risk. A moderated mediation effect was found opposite the hypothesized direction: fearlessness about death mediated the relationship between endorsement of the masculine gender norm of restrictive emotionality and suicide risk in women, but not men. Gender did not moderate the association between restrictive emotionality and fearlessness about death. The diverging gender effects suggest that the masculine gender norm of restrictive emotionality is associated with suicide capability in men and women, while acquired fearlessness about death is more informative of risk for suicide in women than men.
本研究调查了性别是否通过自杀能力（即对死亡的无畏）调节了限制性情感的男性社会化压力与自杀风险之间的关联。一组因近期有自杀倾向而入院的患者（n = 194）完成了关于限制性情感、对死亡的无畏以及当前自杀风险的有效测量。发现了一个与假设方向相反的调节中介效应：对死亡的无畏在女性中中介了限制性情感的男性性别规范认同与自杀风险之间的关系，但在男性中并非如此。性别并未调节限制性情感与对死亡的无畏之间的关联。不同的性别效应表明，限制性情感的男性性别规范在男性和女性中均与自杀能力相关，而习得的对死亡的无畏对女性自杀风险的指示作用比对男性更强。
