El propósito de este estudio es: (1) analizar la
asociación entre masculinidad y feminidad con
salud; (2) explorar si hay diferencias en masculinidad
y feminidad entre las personas de dos
comunidades autónomas españolas. La muestra
estaba formada por 533 personas de la población
general. No se encontraron diferencias en masculinidad
ni en feminidad entre las personas de
ambas comunidades autónomas. Masculinidad
se asociaba con autoestima en mujeres y hombres.
En las mujeres, masculinidad se asociaba
con mejor salud mental y feminidad se asociaba
con autoestima. En la muestra de hombres, feminidad
se asociaba con sintomatología de ansiedad
y somática y con autoconfianza
The purpose of this study is: (1) to analyze the
association of masculinity and femininity with
health; (2) to explore whether there were differences
in masculinity and femininity among the
people of two different Spanish autonomous
communities. The sample was comprised of 533
individuals from the general population. No differences
were found between masculinity and
femininity between the people from the two
autonomous communities. Masculinity was associated
with self-esteem, both in the women’s
and the men’s samples. In the women’s sample,
masculinity was associated with mental health
and femininity was associated with self-esteem.
In the men’s sample, femininity was associated
with anxiety and somatic symptoms, and with
self-confidence.
