Abstract

The current study examined whether specific masculine norms predict health risk and health protective behaviors among men. Through analyzing collected data, many norms and overall masculinity were found to predict protective and risky health behaviors. Results duplicated previous findings while adding new predictors that can be used in health interventions.
