This study tested a theoretical model of one mediator and four moderators of the relationships between two masculinity variables (Traditional Masculinity Ideology and Gender Role Conflict) and Attitudes toward Seeking Professional Psychological Services (Attitudes). Self-stigma was the hypothesized mediator and the hypothesized moderators were: 1) Depression, 2) General Self-efficacy, 3) Precontemplation, and 4) Barriers to Help-Seeking.

The relationship between Traditional Masculinity Ideology and Attitudes was partially mediated by Self-stigma, whereas that …

Specifically, each item-level indicator loaded on two factors: a general traditional masculinity ideology factor and a specific factor corresponding to one of the seven hypothesized traditional masculinity ideology norms. The bi-factor model was assessed for measurement invariance …
