Emerging research suggests that holding gender-equitable attitudes (GEA) is associated with decreased risk of gender-based violence perpetration and increased willingness to engage in violence preventative actions among men. GEA, defined here as support for political, economic, and social equity across gender in both public and private spheres, may therefore constitute a protective factor against perpetration and a promotive factor in fostering healthy relationships and communities. Forces that shape GEA throughout boys’ and young men’s lives are less well articulated. The purpose of this exploratory, scoping review was to synthesize cross-disciplinary research to distill life-course influences on the development of GEA among men. Three databases and Google Scholar were searched to locate peer-reviewed studies that empirically examined GEA as an outcome of childhood, adolescent, or young adulthood factors. Sixty-nine articles were located that, collectively, used data from 97 different countries and identified 22 potential life-course influences on men’s GEA. Across studies, facilitators of equitable attitudes included higher levels of education, exposure to gender transformative prevention programming, and having parents who held, modeled, and communicated gender-equitable beliefs. Hindrances to equitable attitudes included but were not limited to religiosity, the transition to fatherhood, and having mostly male peer groups. Findings suggest that opportunities to foster equitable attitudes exist across the life course and both inside and outside of formal prevention or education interventions.

新兴研究表明，保持性别平等态度 (GEA) 与基于性别的暴力犯罪风险降低和男性参与暴力预防行动的意愿增加有关。GEA 在此定义为在公共和私人领域支持跨性别的政治、经济和社会公平，因此可能构成防止犯罪的保护因素和促进健康关系和社区的促进因素。在男孩和年轻男性的一生中塑造 GEA 的力量不太清楚。这项探索性的范围审查的目的是综合跨学科研究，以提炼出生命过程对男性 GEA 发展的影响。搜索了三个数据库和 Google Scholar，以找到同行评议的研究，这些研究对 GEA 作为儿童、青少年或青年期因素的结果进行了实证检验。共找到 69 篇文章，这些文章共同使用了来自 97 个不同国家的数据，并确定了 22 种潜在的生命过程对男性 GEA 的影响。在所有研究中，平等态度的促进因素包括更高水平的教育、参与性别变革性预防计划以及拥有持有、模仿和传达性别平等信念的父母。平等态度的障碍包括但不限于宗教信仰、向父亲身份的转变以及主要是男性同龄群体。
