중년 남성의 성역할 스트레스와 주관적 안녕감의 관계에서 생성감으로 조절된 정서표현양가성의 매개효과

초록

This study aims to examine the mediating effect of ambivalence over emotional expressiveness on the relationship between gender role stress and subjective well-being among middle-aged men, and to explore whether this mediating effect is moderated by generativity. An online self-report survey was conducted with 480 married middle-aged men aged 40-59 years. Data collected were analyzed using SPSS PROCESS macro 4.2. The results revealed several key findings:. First, ambivalence over emotional expressiveness mediated the relationship between gender role stress and subjective well-being. Second, the impact of ambivalence over emotional expressiveness on subjective well-being varied depending on generativity levels. Third, the mediating effect of ambivalence over emotional expressiveness was contingent upon generativity levels. Specifically, higher levels of generativity among middle-aged men attenuated the maladaptive mediating effect of ambivalence over emotional expressiveness, suggesting a mitigation of the decline in subjective well-being due to gender role stress. The significance of this study lies in providing evidence for developing activities and programs aimed at enhancing generativity as a protective factor for middle-aged men.
