Abstract:

Norms of gender role influence behaviors and are adopted to affirm identities and belonging to particular groups. Even if social norms change according to ethical, social and cultural standards, there are dominant norms. This study validated for the Brazilian reality the Inventory of Conformity with Male Norms - CMNI-29 and looked for indications of its applicability to specific factors of the alcohol consumption behavior of university students. Data341 men, between 19 and 25 years old, living in Minas Gerais and São Paulo, were collected. Participants completed the CMNI-29 and asked questions about their alcohol consumption. Even with the adjustments made for better adaptation to the Brazilian context, the inventory was considered valid. In general, reliability data were satisfactory and convergent and discriminant validity was achieved for all dimensions of masculinity. CMNI-29 proved to be a useful measure to understand the role of the multiple dimensions of masculinity in the behavior. In addition, evidence of influence of the norms on the frequency of alcohol consumption were found. The use of scale in the Brazilian context broadens the scope of gender research in the country, and makes it possible to search for its effect with other variables and health behaviors that affect this population.
