Overview"This book presents new research on a great variety of challenges and insights into the masculine gender. Standards of masculinity cannot only create stress in themselves for some men, but they can also limit a man's ability to relieve stress. Some men appraise situations using the schema of what is an acceptable masculine response rather than what is objectively the best response. As a result, men often feel limited to a certain range of ""approved"" responses and coping strategies. A summary of research data is given on the neural basis of masculinity perception using electrophysiological methods. The effect of the gender of a teacher on achievement and development of male children is also examined. This book recognises the absence of cultural scripts of masculinity for older men and argues that masculinity must change at its foundation as a prerequisite for masculinity scripts to include these men. Caregiving is often seen as an attribute of women. This book includes articles on the role of men as caregivers in a marriage setting."
