In two studies, we found evidence that this aggression is related to the social pressure men experience to “be a man.” In Study 1a, we conducted an exploratory factor analysis to isolate participants’ ( N = 195; Mage = 19.92) differential motivations for conforming to gender norms. Study 1b then showed that pressure to be masculine moderates the relationship between gender identity threat and aggressive cognition for men. In Study 2a, we conducted a confirmatory factor analysis to validate the aforementioned scales with an age-diverse sample of men ( N = 391; Mage = 33.16, range = 18–56 years). Study 2b replicated Study 1b, most notably with younger men. In all, these findings reveal one pathway—the pressure men experience to be stereotypically masculine—that elicits aggressive cognition when under threat in a U.S. context.

OBJECTIVE To examine posttraumatic growth (PTG) in the understudied population of individuals with amputations. Our main aim was to assess the effect of gender, veteran status, age, and time since amputation on PTG. Our secondary aim was to examine the role support group participation on PTG. METHODS Sixty-six adults with amputations completed an online survey consisting of the Posttraumatic Growth Inventory (PTGI) and free response questions about experiences with support groups. T-tests and correlations were the main statistical analyses. RESULTS There were no gender differences in PTGI scores. Veterans had significantly lower PTGI scores than civilians, t(64) = 2.63, p < 0.05, Cohen's d = .41. Age was negatively correlated with PTGI score, r = -.27, p < 0.05. Participants who indicated consistent engagemen...
