A Community Psychology of Men and Masculinity: Historical and Conceptual Review
Abstract This paper introduces the special section by presenting a historical and conceptual review of theory and research on the psychology
of men and masculinity and then introducing the section’s papers. Men have power because of their gender, but differ in access
to power based on other individual characteristics such as social class, income, education, ethnicity, sexual orientation,
or physical strength. Men typically have been studied as generic rather than gendered beings in psychology. In contrast, a
gendered analysis o [...]

Applied Roles and the Future of Community Psychology
Abstract The roles for community psychologists have changed over the past several decades. These changes have implications for training,
traditional academic roles, and the capacity of the field to maintain its integrity and further development. Changes in the
scope of community psychology as a field as well as the roles of community psychologists are described with consideration
of how they may affect participation in the field, retention of membership in SCRA, and potential directions for training.

Healing Men and Community: Predictors of Outcome in a Men’s Initiatory and Support Organization
Abstract Men have poorer health and declining social outcomes when compared to women, and research suggests that behaviors related
to restrictive and traditional male gender roles contribute to this disparity. This study is an examination of The ManKind
Project International (MKPI), a community-based organization that provides alternative male gender norms and a community support
system to help reinforce them. The MKPI runs an intensive, experiential “Training Adventure Weekend” (TAW), followed by voluntary,
on-going peer-led [...]

Men’s Gendered Constructions of Intimate Partner Violence as Predictors of Court-Mandated Batterer Treatment Drop Out
Abstract The purpose of this study was to explore the meaning men make of their violence toward intimate partners and to examine if
and how these meanings and constructions of violence predicted who drops out of batterer treatment prior to program completion.
We used both qualitative and quantitative data collected from 154 men court-mandated to participate in a batterer intervention
program. The qualitative findings indicated that the men in this sample minimized and denied responsibility for the violence
they used towards their [...]
Advancing a Community Psychology of Men
Abstract This commentary reviews and integrates several themes described in this special issue on men. Social forces of the past and
present such as colonialism and hegemonic masculinity are noted as a continuing influence on men’s social roles, as are the
social-justice movements that contribute to the liberation of women and sexual minorities. The early sections of the commentary
examine the studies in the context of these forces and movements, emphasizing how men both resist and accept traditional masculinities.

Indigenous Fathers’ Involvement in Reconstituting “Circles of Care”
Abstract This qualitative study, part of a Canadian national study of fathers’ involvement, opened up First Nations and Métis fathering
as a new area of inquiry. Conversational interviews with 80 Indigenous fathers illuminated the socio-historical conditions
that have shaped Indigenous men’s experiences of learning to be a father and becoming a man in the context of changing gender
relationships and the regeneration of circles of care. Indigenous fathers’ experiences unfold in a socio-historical context
fraught with diffic [...]

Enhancing Parenting Skills Among Nonresident African American Fathers as a Strategy for Preventing Youth Risky Behaviors
Abstract This study evaluated the effectiveness of a theoretically based, culturally specific family intervention designed to prevent
youth risky behaviors by influencing the parenting attitudes and behaviors of nonresident African American fathers and the
parent–child interactions, intentions to avoid violence, and aggressive behaviors of their preadolescent sons. A sample of
158 intervention and 129 comparison group families participated. ANCOVA results indicated that the intervention was promising
for enhancing parental moni [...]

Negotiating Dominant Masculinity Ideology: Strategies Used by Gay, Bisexual and Questioning Male Adolescents
Abstract In the context of a U.S. dominant masculinity ideology, which devalues men who are not heterosexually identified, many gay,
bisexual and questioning (GBQ) adolescent males must develop their own affirming and health-promoting sense of masculinity.
In order to promote the well-being of GBQ young men, exploration of their reactions and responses to dominant images of masculinity
is needed. We qualitatively analyzed interviews with 39 GBQ African American, Latino, and European American male adolescents
(15–23 years o [...]
