Non-loss-framed messaging increases willingness to use condoms among men who have sex with women in Austria and Germany
The rate of barrier use during partnered sexual activities is low in men because masculinity ideologies might emphasize strong sexual desire and prioritize pregnancy prevention over sexually transmitted disease prevention. We investigated how to frame educational interventions to increase cisgender men’s willingness to use barrier contraceptives, including condoms and dental dams. Based on Regulatory Focus Theory, non-loss-framed messages (focusi…
Benevolent intentions towards a new co-worker depend on the co-worker’s sexual orientation and relationship status
In Europe, allonormative beliefs are common. These beliefs assume that all people desire sexual activity with others. Individuals who are single or asexual differ from these norms and may face social disapproval, including discrimination. The present study investigated whether individuals’ benevolent intentions and behaviors toward a new co-worker vary depending on the co-worker’s sexual orientation (specifically being asexual) and relationship s…
Problematic pornography use as an externalizing depression symptom in cisgender men
Perceiving being single as inherently negative
The belief that every person has a strong desire to be in a committed relationship can lead to stereotyping of single people. The present study examined whether people judge another person's life satisfaction differently based solely on information about that person's relationship status. We conducted a cross-sectional study among 1,241 participants (M age = 40.3, SD = 13.0; 57.3% cisgender women, 40.8% cisgender men, and 1.9% gender minority ind…
Fear of being single moderates the link between relationship status and psychological or sexual well-being
Social cure model
Data in sexual minority individuals or non-binary persons supported the social cure model, according to which persons can find support and validation for their looks and body from in-group members. In cisgender women and men, strong identification as a woman or man can be related to stronger in-group pressure and in turn to lower body appreciation
Similar Employment of Coercion Strategies by Men and Women
During hookups some people use coercive tactics to obtain sex from a reluctant partner. The current study explored whether individuals with greater conformity to traditional masculine ideologies (TMIs) are more willing to use coercive and coaxing tactics following sexual rejection than are individuals with less conformity to TMIs. German-speaking participants (N = 771; 50.5% men and 49.5% women; age M = 27.98, SD = 8.04), recruited through Prolif…
All employees benefit
The goal of affirmative action programs is to establish equal opportunities for women and men. Past research has focused on one type of affirmative action, namely quotas, and found that the implementation of quotas is often met by a backlash from employees. The current study adds to the literature by investigating fairness and importance perceptions of career development programs offered only to women at Austrian universities or the Austrian Scie…

Measurement invariance and psychometric properties of a German-language Conformity to Masculine Norms Inventory among cisgender sexual minority and heterosexually identified women and men
Explorative Questionnaire Study About Education with Regard to the Health of Sexual Minorities at an Austrian Medical University
Physicians can play a critical role in helping lesbian, gay, and bisexual-identified (LGB) individuals face minority stress. The current questionnaire study among 305 medical students (62.6% women/37.4% men; Mage = 23.4, SD = 3.2) assessed whether medical students learn about LGB-specific concepts at an Austrian medical university. Students reported that their education contained little content about LGB-specific concepts. The majority of student…
Family Supportive Supervisor Behaviors Moderate Associations between Work Stress and Exhaustion
The time-intensive work of publishing in scientific journals is an important indicator of job performance that is given much weight during promotion procedures for academic positions. The current study applied the job demands-resources model and analyzed whether family supportive supervisor behaviors (FSSB) moderated associations between work stress and feelings of exhaustion as a job resource and whether feelings of exhaustion ultimately mediate…
Association between psychotherapy use, sexual orientation, and traditional masculinity among psychologically distressed men
Associations Between Pornography Consumption, Sexual Flexibility, and Sexual Functioning Among Austrian Adults
To date, only a few studies have examined the associations between pornography consumption and sexual functioning. The Acquisition, Activation, Application Model ( 3 AM) indicates that the frequency of pornography consumption and the perceived realism of pornography may influence whether sexual scripts are acquired from viewed pornography. Having sexual scripts that are alternative to their preferred sexual behaviors may help people switch to alt…
Heterosexual-identified men’s endorsement of masculinity ideologies moderates associations between pornography consumption, body satisfaction and sexual functioning
Social comparison processes during pornography consumption and the pressure to adhere to traditional masculinity ideologies (TMIs) about how a male body should look may influence men’s body satisfaction and in turn explain potential associations between pornography consumption and men’s sexual functioning. The current study analysed whether pornography consumption was associated with men’s experience of distressing sexual problems through men’s b…

A Vignette Study Analyzing Contextual Factors that Influence Emerging Adults’ Definitions of Virginity Loss in German-Speaking Countries
Past research on virginity loss definitions revealed that emerging adults' definitions of virginity loss are associated with emerging adults' own sociodemographic characteristics. However, previous research has not systematically studied whether emerging adults applied different criteria for virginity loss depending on the context of the judged behavior. The current study used vignettes to explore which contextual factors of an intimate partnered…
Austrian University Hospital Physicians' Barriers to and Reasons for Assessing Their Patients' Sexual Orientation
The current online-questionnaire study examined physicians' (N = 135; 51.9% women and 48.1% men) attitudes toward homosexuality and assessed physicians' barriers to and reasons for asking patients about their sexual orientation at an Austrian university hospital. Only 37.1% of female physicians and 27.7% of male physicians included questions about their patients' sexual orientation in everyday clinical practice. The most commonly reported barrier…
Austrian male patients’ gender role conflict is associated with their wish for interpersonal violence to be addressed during patient-physician conversations
Experiences of interpersonal violence should be an important part of physician-patient conversations with male patients. Overall, male patients would welcome their physician initiating a potential conversation about violence. Using an approach that takes consideration of masculine gender role ideologies may further increase some men's willingness to approach the topic of interpersonal violence. Men who adhere to the norm of being preoccupied with…
Male Medical Students’ Gender-Role Conflict Is Associated With Their Discomfort With Dealing With Patients’ Sexual Health Issues
Recommendations suggest that more sexuality education be implemented in medical school curricula to increase students' comfort with regard to dealing with sexual health issues. For male medical students the adherence to masculine gender-role norms may also contribute to discomfort regarding dealing with this intimate topic. The current study analyzed whether male medical students' knowledge or masculine gender-role conflict (GRC) was associated w…
The importance of equal treatment
We assessed medical students' opinion of affirmative action programs (AAPs), perception of gender equality and discrimination. 276 medical students (56.2% female) participated. Women considered AAPs to be more important than did men. Most women (62.6%) and men (71.9%) received equal treatment, but significantly more women (22.6%) than men (11.6%) experienced discrimination. It is necessary to convey the importance of gender equality and equal tre…

We recruited 483 students (352 women/131 men) of medicine, allied health profession with focus on patient contact and allied health profession students with focus on laboratory work. Students with focus on laboratory work profited the most from Gender Medicine lectures as their…
