This article uses the 2011–2019 National Survey of Family Growth to explore how masculinity attitudes differ by rural, suburban, and urban contexts across three social axes: sexual identity, race/ethnicity, and education. It examines within-group differences based on spatial context among 17,944 men aged 15–44 who are straight, gay/bisexual, Black, white, and Latino, as well as among men with less than a bachelor’s, a bachelor’s, and more than a bachelor’s. This contributes to existing knowledge in several ways: it is the first project to build on important qualitative studies through the use of a nationally representative sample; it contributes to the scarce research on how rural gay/bisexual, Black, and Latino men understand masculinity; and it examines how education shapes the relationship between spatial context and attitudes about masculinity. Results indicate that spatial context has a stronger relationship to attitudes among white men, straight men, and men without a bachelor’s than among Black men, Latino men, gay/bisexual men, or men with a bachelor’s or above. Theoretically, what this shows is that spatial context is more strongly related to masculinity attitudes for men who are advantaged on the basis of sexuality or race than for men who are marginalized on these axes. When significant differences emerged, rural men were more conservative than urban and suburban men, and suburban men were more conservative than urban men. These results show that there is a relationship between spatial contexts and attitudes about masculinity, but that it depends on social identity and level of education.

本文使用《 2011-2019年国家家庭成长状况调查》来探讨男性气质态度如何在三个社会轴心（农村地区，郊区和城市环境）之间的不同，这三个社会轴线分别是：性认同，种族/民族和教育。它根据空间背景检查了17944名15-44岁的异性，同性恋/双性恋，黑人，白人和拉丁裔男性以及单身汉，单身汉和少于单身汉的男性之间的群体差异。单身汉。这以多种方式促进了现有知识的发展：这是第一个通过使用具有全国代表性的样本在重要的定性研究基础上开展的项目；它为关于农村男同性恋/双性恋，黑人和拉丁裔男人如何理解男性气概的稀缺研究做出了贡献；并研究了教育如何塑造空间环境与男性气概之间的关系。结果表明，与黑人，拉丁裔，同性恋/双性恋或具有单身或以上学历的男性相比，空间环境与白人，异性恋和无学历的男性之间的态度具有更强的关系。从理论上讲，这表明，相对于在这些轴上处于边缘地位的男性而言，基于性或种族优势的男性的空间情境与男性态度之间的联系更为紧密。当出现显着差异时，农村男子比城市男子和郊区男子更为保守，而郊区男子比城市男子更为保守。这些结果表明，空间环境和对男性气质的态度之间存在联系，但它取决于社会认同和教育程度。
