Effect of Role Conflict On Men
Men generally are more restrictive than women when it comes to expressing their emotions. At times this can be a positive attribute; they are typically more level headed. This characteristic is also harmful not only to the individual but to the people with whom he interacts with. When men are not able to verbalize their feelings they can build up within the individual causing large amounts of stress and anxiety. Their inability to express emotions also inhibits their ability to form meaningful connections with the people around them. They may come across as cold or detached. Many men experience gender role conflict in response to deeper issues such as depression, low-self esteem, and anxiety. Recognizing the problem and developing flexible behaivior are two effective ways for men to cope with gender role conflicts.
