Canadian French Translation and Preliminary Validation of the Conformity to Masculine Norms Inventory: A Pilot Study
Conformity to masculine norms has been linked to poor mental and physical health outcomes. Its valid assessment among subgroups of the population is therefore a crucial step in the investigation of intercultural variability in the enactment of masculinity, as well as its causes, costs, and benefits....
