Many of the GRC studies are now clustered into specific topic areas related to GRC. The clusters are helpful to researchers by collecting together, in one place, similar studies on many topics that have been significantly correlated with GRC.

The four clusters are depicted in the tables found in this menu item and include  a) Psychological Correlates of GRC, b) Physical and Psychological Health Correlates of GRC, c) Special Groups and GRC, d) Special Topics & GRC.

The arrows pointing to GRC (See Table 1) establish that there are clusters of GRC empirical research studies on each topic. The file lists the citations on specific topics for quick reference to many studies on the same dependent variable.

chart showing the different categories of psychological correlates

The figure above shows the psychological correlates of GRC from empirical studies from 1986-2013. The 15 clusters are linked to references for each topic and can be accessed by clicking on the drop down box for each cluster area.
The table below provides the correlates of GRC with the authors, dates of publications, and the complete reference to the study.

My overall summary of these studies is that most found some significant relationship between GRC and one of the correlates (O’Neil, 2008; 2015). More analysis of these studies is needed. For example, with the 34 studies on depression, what do the studies collectively tell us about the role GRC plays in men’s depression? My past analysis of these studies has been general, noting overall relationships but not the detailed summary that they deserve.
I encourage future researchers to do more complete analyses of this past research so we can more actively communicate with the public about men’s depression and the other correlates in the figure.

Studies after 2013 are not listed in this file, but the more recent publications are found in Published Studies and Dissertations Sections of the web page.
