A Phenomenological Exploration of the Dynamics of Masculinity in Filipino College Students: Redefining Gender Norms in Interpersonal Relationships

Journal Title: Psychology and Education: A Multidisciplinary Journal - Year 2024, Vol 26, Issue 10

Abstract

Masculinity has always been a delicate theme. Men frequently believe that they are being tested in this perspective as they feel that the quality shows itself through the conventional convictions to stay away from any type of judgment. The reason for masculinity thinking in Filipino undergraduates within relationships is the mindset that men ought to continuously be extremely forthright and not show any of their weak side; since the public might believe that it is as well “ladylike” or “delicate” for a developed man to show any of these profound ways of behaving. In this study, six (6) college students have been chosen according to their gender, marital status, and location. A semi-structured interview was conducted, and it has revealed that through personal experience and significant time spent communicating with their partners during relationship conflicts, men have realized that they should exert more effort in showing their affections for their partners without restricting them. However, further studies in exploring the shift of the definition of masculinity in relationships on a more comprehensive level is required.
