Fraternity culture perpetuates traditional masculinity ideologies, but little research has considered the process by which men internalize these ideologies. Men may select into fraternities based on preexisting ideologies, or fraternities may have a socializing effect on ideologies. We used two longitudinal datasets to explore selection and socialization effects of fraternity membership on masculinity ideologies (gendered beliefs, gendered traits, and sexual double standard beliefs) and impersonal sex (sexual motives and multiple sex partners) among ethnically and racially diverse college men. Using dataset one ( = 166, = 18.0 years old fall of first year), we explored the selection and socialization effects of fraternity membership on male role norms, masculine traits, and endorsement of the sexual double standard. Men who more strongly endorsed male role norms about status and the sexual double standard were more likely to join fraternities than other men, indicating selection effects. Using dataset two ( = 256, = 18.5 years old fall of first year), we explored selection and socialization effects of fraternity membership on sex motives and multiple sex partners. We did not find much evidence for selection or socialization effects on sex motives and multiple sex partners. Our findings may inform intervention efforts for men before and during college.
兄弟会文化使传统的男性气质观念长期存在，但很少有研究考虑男性将这些观念内化的过程。男性可能基于既有的观念选择加入兄弟会，或者兄弟会可能对观念产生社会化影响。我们使用了两个纵向数据集，以探讨兄弟会成员身份对不同种族和民族的大学男性的男性气质观念（性别化信念、性别化特质和性双重标准信念）以及非个人性行为（性动机和多个性伴侣）的选择和社会化影响。使用第一个数据集（ = 166，第一年秋季时年龄 = 18.0岁），我们探讨了兄弟会成员身份对男性角色规范、男性特质以及对性双重标准的认可的选择和社会化影响。比起其他男性，更强烈认可关于地位的男性角色规范和性双重标准的男性更有可能加入兄弟会，这表明存在选择效应。使用第二个数据集（ = 256，第一年秋季时年龄 = 18.5岁），我们探讨了兄弟会成员身份对性动机和多个性伴侣的选择和社会化影响。我们没有发现太多关于对性动机和多个性伴侣的选择或社会化影响的证据。我们的研究结果可能为大学之前和大学期间针对男性的干预措施提供参考。
