本研究考察了过度男性化作为城市非裔美国青少年男性（12 - 17岁）一种反应性应对方式的作用，并评估了青少年对学校和社区中的成年人如何看待他们的评估在多大程度上影响过度男性化。研究涉及两个问题：（a）报告有负面社区和学校经历的青少年男性是否会将过度男性化的态度作为一种应对反应？（b）如果存在感知到的负面学校和社区经历的影响，这些影响是否会持续存在？研究的参与者是241名在东南部一个大城市的公立学校就读的非裔美国青少年男性。将青少年报告的关于感知到的教师期望和社区挑战认知的问卷（来自同一年及两年后的一波数据）与过度男性化态度相关联，结果表明过度男性化态度源于社区和学校环境中的负面认知。而且，随着时间推移，过度男性化态度与这些负面感知经历相关联。从纵向来看，社区中的负面经历与过度男性化的关系比学校中的类似经历更为紧密。
This study examined the role of hypermasculinity as a form of reactive coping among urban African American adolescent males (ages 12-17) and assessed the extent to which hypermasculinity is influenced by youth appraisals of how adults in their school and community perceive them. Two research questions were addressed: (a) Do adolescent males who report negative community and school experiences use hypermasculine attitudes as a coping response? (b) Do the effects of perceived negative school and community experiences persist, if they are present at all? Participants in the study were 241 African American adolescent males who attended public schools in a large southeastern city. Associating youth-reported questionnaires on perceived teacher expectations and perceptions of community challenges from one wave of data on hypermasculine attitudes within the same year and 2 years later, the results indicate that hypermasculinity attitudes stem from negative perceptions in the community and school contexts. Also, hypermasculinity attitudes were associated with these negatively perceived experiences across time. When examined longitudinally, negative experiences in the community had a stronger relation to hypermasculinity than similar experiences at school.
