Research Models Assessing GRC and Hypotheses To Be Tested

Research models and hypotheses about GRC are briefly discussed in this file. The models can be useful in conceptualizing how moderator and mediator variables, including situational cues relate to GRC. These research models and hypotheses are evolving and promote more complex research designs, specifically how GRC develops psychosocially/developmentally and how it is acted out situationally in men’s lives. More elaborate research models are needed to assess GRC and the present ones are considered preliminary and incomplete, meaning not fully developed or operationalized.

Below are six research models related to GRC and the references where you can obtain more information on what they mean.
