在军事文化中，有一种受保护的男子汉气概。符号资源理论(Zitturn，Duveen，Gillesbie，Ivinson&Psaltis，2003)认识到，人们处于社会文化世界的不同符号流中，他们可以在其中流离失所或重新定位(Benson，2001；Duveen，2001)。因此，一个人进入军队就是将他或她自己从平民社会文化世界重新定位到军事社会文化世界。对在英国的男性和女性军事人员进行了29次半结构化个人访谈和三个焦点小组(每个小组包括三个人)。参与者包括皇家海军陆战队、陆军和皇家空军人员，级别各不相同。根据符号资源理论，心理发展的分析单位是确定性的断裂--突入--转变。这意味着一个导致一种新形式稳定的过程。这一过程是军事人员为了使他们开始训练时不确定和不熟悉的东西变得确定和熟悉而进行的过程。通过关注发生在个人军旅生涯训练阶段的断裂，我们可以探索如何通过象征性的资源，培养军人的男子气概。
Within military culture there is a protected version of masculinity. The theory of symbolic resources (Zittoun, Duveen, Gillespie, Ivinson & Psaltis, 2003) recognises that people are positioned within different symbolic streams in the socio-cultural world, in which they can be displaced or can relocate themselves (Benson, 2001; Duveen, 2001). So an individual entering the military is relocating him or herself from a civilian socio-cultural world to a military one. 29 semi-structured individual interviews and three focus groups (each comprising three individuals) with male and female military personnel in Britain were conducted. Participants included Royal Marine, Army and Royal Air Force personnel and were of a variety of ranks. In accordance with the theory of symbolic resources, the unit of analysis for psychological development is the unit rupture-irruption of certainty-transition. This implies a process that leads to a new form of stability. This process is that which military personnel undertake in order for that which is uncertain and unfamiliar when they begin their training to become certain and familiar. Through focusing on the rupture that takes place during the training phase within an individual’s military career, one can explore how through symbolic resources, military masculinities develop.
