本研究探讨性别角色、性别角色冲突及其交互作用对男同性恋心理困扰的影响。性别角色的测量利用职业，活动和特质的个人措施（OAT-PM），性别角色冲突进行了评估，通过性别角色冲突量表（GRCS），和心理困扰进行了测量，使用全球严重程度指数（GSI）的简明症状量表（BSI）。参与者是71名自认为是同性恋的男性，来自中西部的一个大城市。结果显示，女性气质和性别角色冲突与一般困扰呈正相关。然而，一个显着的女性化的性别角色冲突的相互作用也被发现，这表明，女性同性恋男子与高层次的冲突，他们的性别角色是在一般的痛苦的风险增加。与男同性恋者的临床工作的影响进行了讨论。
The current study examined the influence of gender role, gender role conflict, and their interaction in predicting psychological distress in gay men. Gender role was measured utilizing the Occupations, Activities, and Traits-Personal Measures (OAT-PM), gender role conflict was assessed via the Gender Role Conflict Scale (GRCS), and psychological distress was measured using the Global Severity Index (GSI) of the Brief Symptom Inventory (BSI). Participants were 71 self-identified gay males, collected from a large, Midwestern city. Results revealed that both femininity and gender role conflict were positively associated with general distress. However, a significant femininity by gender role conflict interaction was also found, suggesting that feminine gay men with high levels of conflict regarding their gender role are at an increased risk for general distress. Implications for clinicians working with gay men are discussed.
