Masculinity and Power in Romantic Relationships
Abstract
This study explores the connection between masculinity and power for men and women in
romantic relationships. 54 men and 68 women from Yeshiva University filled out surveys
with masculinity and power measures taken from Bem’s Sex Role Inventory, the Male role
Attitudes Scale, the Adolescent Masculinity Ideology in Relationships Scale, the Perceived
Masculinity Questionnaire and Outcome Power, Global Power, Decision-making power,
Group Power, Status Discrepancy, a Measure of Relative Emotional Investment, and the
Relationship Power Scale for Females. Results showed that men emphasizing romance had
more partner compliance, made fewer decisions and had less narcissism and time
determination. Male Image Obsessed men had greater say in Time Determination and
Narcissism whereas Physically Masculine men portrayed less Narcissism. Women expressing
greater Male Image Obsession had less Partner Compliance from their significant other;
women expressing stronger Alpha Male beliefs in men expressed more Narcissism. Women
with greater Desire tended to be Captains of the Relation-Ship and those who expressed a
need to be like a Tough Guy expressed more Time Determination. Women who expressed
less respect for men backing away from challenges tended to be Deciders in their
relationships.
