Abstract
Masculinity threat for men can have different negative emotions and attitudes attached to it. This paper focuses on the differences of masculinity threat between generations on several concepts such as endorsing traditional male role norms, emotions, and coping strategies like social creativity strategies or collective action. Our study consisted of 245 United States citizens that are male (M = 44.23; SD = 17.46) who completed an online questionnaire assessing demographics, the male role norms, emotions, social creativity strategies, and collective action. It was found that men belonging in the older generation endorse more traditional masculinity roles in the threat condition in comparison to all other conditions. The hypotheses that older men would have other identity management strategies than younger people to restore their male privilege and older men would experience more negative emotions in the threat condition in comparison to older men in the control condition and younger men overall were also not supported. Limitations and future directions are discussed.
