Heart disease: environment, stress and gender; [proceedings of the NATO Advanced Research Workshop on Increase in Coronary Heart Disease in Central and Eastern Europe : Stress and Gender Related Factors 20 -24 May, 2000, Budapest, Hungary]
abstract: This article discusses two studies examining the relationship of a "macho" self-concept and health-relevant variables. A macho self-concept was operationalized through its similarity to a "Marlboro man" prototype, which had
been assessed in a prior study. The first study was conducted with medical students and physicians and assessed their motivation to participate in a stress management
course in relation to their self-concept. The second study tested the hypothesis that a macho self-concept influences self-ratings ofhealth and physical symptoms among East and West German university students. Results ftom both studies support the hypothesis that a macho self-concept is strongly related to variables associated with ill health. This association was more pronounced among men than among women.
