Prior research indicates that adherence to the male role norm suggesting men should seek to attain social status (i.e., status) is positively related to prosocial bystander attitudes and behavior; however, moderators of this effect have yet to be examined. One construct that may influence this effect is benevolent sexism. The present study sought to fill this gap in the literature. Participants were 148 men 21-30 years of age from the metro Atlanta area who reported that they had engaged in heavy drinking at least three times in the past year. A moderation model was used to examine the independent and interactive effects of adherence to the status norm and benevolent sexism on bystander behavior within party settings for friends and strangers. The model predicting bystander behavior towards friends showed a significant interaction between status and benevolent sexism ( = .59, = .021). The association between adherence to the status norm and bystander behavior was significant and positive among men who reported high benevolent sexism ( = .96, = .003), but not low benevolent sexism (β=.15, p=.619). No such effects were detected for bystander behavior for strangers. Findings suggest that males who hold traditional male ideologies around chivalry may be more likely to engage in prosocial bystander behavior towards women in party situations, perhaps as a way of demonstrating their high status. These findings have implications for future programming for men.
先前的研究表明，坚持男性角色规范，即男性应努力获得社会地位（即地位），与亲社会旁观者态度和行为呈正相关；然而，这种影响的调节因素尚未得到研究。一个可能影响这种效应的构念是善意性别歧视。本研究旨在填补这一文献空白。参与者是来自亚特兰大大都会地区的148名年龄在21至30岁之间的男性，他们报告说在过去一年中至少有三次酗酒经历。采用调节模型来检验坚持地位规范和善意性别歧视对派对场合中对朋友和陌生人的旁观者行为的独立和交互作用。预测对朋友的旁观者行为的模型显示，地位和善意性别歧视之间存在显著的交互作用（ = 0.59， = 0.021）。在报告高善意性别歧视的男性中，坚持地位规范与旁观者行为之间的关联显著且呈正相关（ = 0.96， = 0.003），但在低善意性别歧视的男性中则不显著（β = 0.15，p = 0.619）。对于对陌生人的旁观者行为，未检测到此类影响。研究结果表明，持有传统骑士精神男性观念的男性在派对场合中可能更有可能对女性采取亲社会旁观者行为，这或许是一种展示其高地位的方式。这些发现对未来针对男性的项目具有启示意义。
