心理学理论长期以来一直强调情绪在健康功能和心理治疗中的作用。然而，男性社会化过程被假设为鼓励男性贬低和限制他们的大部分情感体验（例如，Brannon，1976年; Levant，1992年; O 'Neil，1981年）。这项对208名男性的研究使用了传统男性角色社会化的两种操作化，并发现证据表明，报告更大性别角色冲突的男性也承认更高水平的述情障碍和对亲密关系的恐惧，即使在控制了社会期望的反应之后。对心理治疗和未来的理论和研究的影响。
Psychological theories have long emphasized the roles of emotions in healthy functioning and in psychotherapy. However, the masculine socialization process has been hypothesized to encourage men to devalue and restrict much of their emotional experiencing (e.g.,Brannon, 1976; Levant, 1992; O'Neil, 1981). This study of 208 men used two operationalizations of traditional masculine gender role socialization and found evidence that men reporting greater gender role conflict also acknowledged greater levels of alexithymia and fear of intimacy, even after controlling for socially desirable responding. Implications for psychotherapy and for future theory and research are noted.
