| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立新竹教育大學 === 教育心理與諮商學系碩士班 === 103 === The research aims at exploring how military male personnel showed their masculinity in the environment of military, and what factors might have impact on constructing and identifying with their masculinity. The researcher used semi-structured in-depth interview to interview seven males who just retired from military within half year, and analyzed the data with grounded theory approach.
The study found that men will show their masculinity from different dimensions, the societal dimension included the superiority of armed services, the road of being a man, manly culture, and exclusive superiority of men. Secondary, the interpersonal dimension included using personal superiority to stand out, the survival rule of de-personalization, and demonstration of men’s body image which were effected by patriarchy, and finally, the personal dimension refers to develop their masculinity identified by others.
From a system point of view to look at the construction of masculinity, the researchers found that from the macroscopic level, the construction of masculinity will be influenced by the collectivism, ideology of patriarchal, legal policy and media; followed by intermediate level, including military system of control, interaction and competition of interpersonal relationship; the last was the micro-level, including the masculinity which are eager for identification..
The implications and suggestions regarding military training, school education, and future research were addressed.
