To examine the associations between gender role discrepancy (non-conformity to socially prescribed masculine gender role norms) and discrepancy stress (distress arising from this discrepancy) on COVID-19 prevention behaviors among men, and the potential moderating effects of race/ethnicity, sexual orientation, and income on these relationships.
A national online survey was conducted between May and June 2021.
The United States.
749 adult men residing in the United States.
A scale measured gender role discrepancy and discrepancy stress. COVID-19 prevention outcomes were constructed and included self-reported vaccination status/intentions, social distancing, mask-wearing, and hand-sanitizing.
Multivariate generalized linear models were performed in SPSS.
Gender role discrepancy associated with greater odds of vaccination (AOR = 1.35, 95% CI = 1.02-1.78, = .04), while discrepancy stress associated with lower odds of vaccination (AOR = .48, 95% CI = .35-.68, < 0. 001) and mask-wearing (AOR = .54, 95% CI = .37-.79, = .001) for men overall. Discrepancy stress's negative effect on specific COVID-19 prevention behaviors was only apparent or was amplified for men in lower income brackets (vaccination, social distancing, mask-wearing), racial/ethnic minority men (vaccination), and sexual minority men (social distancing).
This study demonstrates that gender role discrepancy stress negatively affects men's engagement in COVID-19 prevention, particularly for men in marginalized populations.
探讨男性性别角色差异（不符合社会规定的男性性别角色规范）和差异压力（这种差异引起的痛苦）与 COVID-19 预防行为之间的关系，并检验种族/民族、性取向和收入对这些关系的潜在调节作用。
2021 年 5 月至 6 月期间进行了一项全国性在线调查。
美国。
749 名居住在美国的成年男性。
使用量表测量性别角色差异和差异压力。COVID-19 预防结果包括自我报告的疫苗接种状况/意向、社交距离、戴口罩和手部消毒。
在 SPSS 中进行了多变量广义线性模型分析。
性别角色差异与更高的疫苗接种几率相关（AOR = 1.35，95%CI = 1.02-1.78， =.04），而差异压力与更低的疫苗接种几率相关（AOR =.48，95%CI =.35-.68， < 0.001）和戴口罩（AOR =.54，95%CI =.37-.79， =.001）。对于总体男性而言，差异压力对特定 COVID-19 预防行为的负面影响仅在收入较低的男性（疫苗接种、社交距离、戴口罩）、种族/民族少数男性（疫苗接种）和性少数男性（社交距离）中明显或放大。
本研究表明，性别角色差异压力会对男性参与 COVID-19 预防产生负面影响，尤其是对处于边缘地位的男性群体。
