本研究采用叙事分析的方法，探讨男性囚犯的男性气概叙事。对9名年龄在22岁到47岁之间的男子进行了个别采访。使用琼脂和霍布斯描述的方法，从每个叙事中提取摘录，并围绕局部、全局和热连贯进行分组。这些研究表明，参与者分为三组：一组接受并内化霸权男子气概的规范代码，另一组在这些代码中成长，但通过关键的生活转折点将其转变为某种更柔和的东西，第三组定义了他们在霸权规范之外的自我意识。这些发现对男性的情绪健康和监狱中的超级男子气概的工作的影响进行了讨论，并提出了开展这项研究的想法。
This study uses a narrative analysis to explore the masculinity narratives of male prisoners. Individual interviews were conducted with nine men aged twenty-two to forty-seven. Using a method described by Agar and Hobbs, extracts were taken from each narrative and grouped around local, global, and themal coherence. These showed that participants fell into three groups: one accepting and internalizing the normative codes of hegemonic masculinity, another growing up within these codes but transforming them through key life turning points into something "softer and gentler," and the third defining their sense of self outside hegemonic norms. The implications of these findings for the men's emotional well-being and for working with hypermasculinity in prisons are discussed along with ideas for developing this research.
