Three experiments (N = 1083) explored whether masculinity threats (vs. assurances) led to emotions that have been linked to well-being, social connection, and the expression of aggression, including (a) increases in feelings of shame and guilt (Experiment 1) and (b) decreases in perspective-taking and empathy (Experiment 2). In addition, we explored whether masculinity assurances (vs. threats) had a positive effect on men's feelings of pride. To determine whether the affective responses to masculinity threats were unique to gender identity, we replicated the findings in comparison to a second social identity threat (Experiment 3). Consistent with predictions, and replicating prior work, men but not women expressed more public discomfort and anger following a gender threat (vs. assurance), as well as more shame and guilt when their masculinity was threatened than when their masculinity was assured (Experiment 2). Importantly, these affective responses were unique to men experiencing gender threats (Experiment 3). Interestingly, consistent with empathy avoidance predictions, when threatened, men reported lower dispositional levels of other focused empathy (Experiment 2), but these effects were not specific to gender threats (Experiment 3). Findings revealed empathy reductions, but not diminished reports of perspective taking, in threat conditions. No consistent evidence of effects of gender feedback on men's pride (authentic or hubristic) emerged. The implications of findings are discussed.

男性气质威胁的情感后果

三个实验(N = 1083) 探讨了男性气质威胁(与保证)是否会导致与幸福感、社会联系和攻击性表达相关的情绪,包括 (a) 羞耻感和内疚感的增加(实验 1)和( b) 观点采择和同理心的减少(实验 2)。此外,我们探讨了男性气质保证(与威胁相比)是否对男性的自豪感产生积极影响。为了确定对男性气质威胁的情感反应是否是性别认同所独有的,我们将这些发现与第二个社会认同威胁进行了比较(实验 3)。与预测一致,并复制先前的工作,男性而非女性在性别威胁(相对于保证)后表达了更多的公众不适和愤怒,以及当他们的男子气概受到威胁时比保证他们的男子气概时更多的羞耻和内疚(实验 2)。重要的是,这些情感反应是经历性别威胁的男性所独有的(实验 3)。有趣的是,与移情回避预测一致,当受到威胁时,男性报告其他集中移情的倾向水平较低(实验 2),但这些影响并非特定于性别威胁(实验 3)。调查结果显示,在威胁条件下,同理心减少,但没有减少关于观点采择的报告。没有一致的证据表明性别反馈对男性自尊心(真实或傲慢)的影响。讨论了调查结果的影响。这些情感反应是遇到性别威胁的男性所独有的(实验 3)。有趣的是,与移情回避预测一致,当受到威胁时,男性报告其他集中移情的倾向水平较低(实验 2),但这些影响并非特定于性别威胁(实验 3)。调查结果显示,在威胁条件下,同理心减少,但没有减少关于观点采择的报告。没有一致的证据表明性别反馈对男性自尊心(真实或傲慢)的影响。讨论了调查结果的影响。这些情感反应是遇到性别威胁的男性所独有的(实验 3)。有趣的是,与移情回避预测一致,当受到威胁时,男性报告其他集中移情的倾向水平较低(实验 2),但这些影响并非特定于性别威胁(实验 3)。调查结果显示,在威胁条件下,同理心减少,但没有减少关于观点采择的报告。没有一致的证据表明性别反馈对男性自尊心(真实或傲慢)的影响。讨论了调查结果的影响。但并没有减少在威胁条件下采取观点的报告。没有一致的证据表明性别反馈对男性自尊心(真实或傲慢)的影响。讨论了调查结果的影响。但并没有减少在威胁条件下采取观点的报告。没有一致的证据表明性别反馈对男性自尊心(真实或傲慢)的影响。讨论了调查结果的影响。
