Becoming a Man: a Longitudinal Study of Men's Gender Identity Development
Edwards, Keith E.
Journal of College Student Development, v63 n2 p185-199 Mar-Apr 2022
This longitudinal study builds on an earlier study of college men's gender identity development (Edwards & Jones, 2009). The findings from the 5- and 10-year follow-up interviews affirm the grounded theory of the original study. The longitudinal aspects of the study also illuminate how men navigated their gender performance and the different gender expectations of them later in life. The participants also described a process of becoming that included both identity exploration and integrity reflection. The findings have implications for student affairs practice, men's development, and identity development research.
