This study aims to extend the scientific knowledge base on the association between masculine norm adherence and sexual risk-taking, in the context of gay and bisexual men, by examining emotional suppression, social support seeking, and avoidant coping as potential mediating pathways. A sample of 482 gay and bisexual men was recruited. Structural equation modeling was used to assess for mediation. Findings revealed that although gender role conflict and conformity to masculine norms (i.e., the two masculine norm adherence predictor variables) did not have a direct effect on sexual risk-taking, a significant indirect effect was observed for gender role conflict on sexual risk-taking via increased avoidant coping. Accordingly, gender role conflict and avoidant coping may create a unique effect on sexual risk-taking whereby the effect of gender role conflict on sexual risk-taking is not transmitted directly but only indirectly through the mediating role of avoidant coping. Future research directions are discussed.
这项研究旨在通过考察情绪抑制、社会支持寻求和回避应对作为潜在的中介途径，扩展关于男性气质规范遵从与性冒险行为之间关联的科学知识基础，研究对象为男同性恋和双性恋男性。招募了 482 名男同性恋和双性恋男性。采用结构方程模型评估中介作用。研究结果表明，尽管性别角色冲突和对男性气质规范的遵从（即两个男性气质规范遵从预测变量）与性冒险行为之间没有直接的影响，但性别角色冲突对性冒险行为的显著间接影响是通过增加回避应对来实现的。因此，性别角色冲突和回避应对可能对性冒险行为产生独特的影响，即性别角色冲突对性冒险行为的影响不是直接传递的，而是仅通过回避应对的中介作用间接传递的。讨论了未来的研究方向。
