本研究描述了男性特质问卷（MAQ）的发展和验证。本研究的目的是开发一个理论和经验为基础的措施，男性属性的性健康研究与非洲裔美国年轻男子。与Whitehead的理论相一致，MAQ项目被假设为包括两个组成部分，代表基于声誉和基于尊重的属性。样本包括505名年龄在19至22岁（M = 20.29，SD = 1.10）的非洲裔美国人，生活在南部农村资源贫乏的社区。收敛和判别效度的MAQ进行了评估，通过检查协会的男性气质属性与心理社会因素。通过检查MAQ分量表预测性风险行为结果的程度来评估标准效度。与研究假设一致，MAQ由（a）以性能力、韧性和反抗权威行为为导向的基于声誉的属性和（B）以经济独立、社会认可的努力工作和教育水平以及忠诚的浪漫关系为导向的基于尊重的属性组成。基于声誉的属性与街道代码呈正相关，与学术方向，职业参与和自我调节呈负相关，而基于尊重的属性与学术和职业方向和自我调节呈正相关。最后，基于声誉的属性预测性风险行为，包括并发性伙伴关系，多个性伴侣，大麻的使用，和监禁，净的影响，基于尊重的属性。MAQ的发展提供了一个新的措施，允许系统的定量研究非洲裔美国男性的阳刚之气的意识形态和性风险行为之间的关联。
The present study describes the development and validation of the Masculine Attributes Questionnaire (MAQ). The purpose of this study was to develop a theoretically and empirically grounded measure of masculine attributes for sexual health research with African American young men. Consistent with Whitehead’s theory, the MAQ items were hypothesized to comprise two components representing reputation-based and respect-based attributes. The sample included 505 African American men aged 19 to 22 years (M = 20.29, SD = 1.10) living in resource-poor communities in the rural South. Convergent and discriminant validity of the MAQ were assessed by examining the associations of masculinity attributes with psychosocial factors. Criterion validity was assessed by examining the extent to which the MAQ subscales predicted sexual risk behavior outcomes. Consistent with study hypotheses, the MAQ was composed of (a) reputation-based attributes oriented toward sexual prowess, toughness, and authority-defying behavior and (b) respect-based attributes oriented toward economic independence, socially approved levels of hard work and education, and committed romantic relationships. Reputation-based attributes were associated positively with street code and negatively related to academic orientation, vocational engagement, and self-regulation, whereas respect-based attributes were associated positively with academic and vocational orientations and self-regulation. Finally, reputation-based attributes predicted sexual risk behaviors including concurrent sexual partnerships, multiple sexual partners, marijuana use, and incarceration, net of the influence of respect-based attributes. The development of the MAQ provides a new measure that permits systematic quantitative investigation of the associations between African American men’s masculinity ideology and sexual risk behavior.
