Men’s mental health is underreported and undertheorized, particularly in terms of the gendered nature of men’s social relations. Past literature is scarce when attempting to understand men’s social support networks or how men go about seeking or mobilizing social support. Understanding the gendered nature of men’s social connections and how the interplay between masculinity and men’s social connections can impact men’s mental health is necessary. In the study, researchers found that while some men differentiated between their social connections with men and women, others experienced difficulties in mobilizing support from existing connections. Overall, the findings suggest that patterns of social connectedness among men are diverse, challenging the social science literature that frames all men’s social relationships as being largely instrumental, and men as less able and less interested than women in building emotional and supportive relationships with others.
