# A bibliometric analysis of masculine gender role stress and mental health: global trends and research gaps

A BIBLIOMETRIC ANALYSIS OF MASCULINE GENDER ROLE STRESS AND MENTAL HEALTH: GLOBAL TRENDS AND RESEARCH GAPS

Presenter: Sidanur Şener

Country: Turkey

Institution: Van Yüzüncü Yıl University, Department of Psychiatric Nursing

The 469 publications on masculine gender role stress and mental health show steady growth, with the field clustering around three main themes.

The aim is to map the global scientific literature on masculine gender role stress (MGRS) and mental health through bibliometric analysis, identifying publication trends, influential contributors, thematic clusters, and knowledge gaps. Data were retrieved from the Scopus and Web of Science databases, and a total of 469 publications published between 1986 and 2026 were included. Analyses were conducted using the Bibliometrix package in R, examining annual publication trends, leading authors, influential publications, country-level research output, and keyword co-occurrence networks. The findings indicate that scientific output has increased steadily, with an annual growth rate of 4.11% since the early 2000s. The United States leads in both publication output and citation impact. Keyword co-occurrence analysis revealed three main research themes: masculinity and gender norms, mental health outcomes (such as depression and anxiety), and help-seeking behaviors and stigma. Highly cited studies highlight the impact of gender role conflict and stigma on men's help-seeking behavior, while most publications have focused on clinical populations. The authors emphasize the need for culturally sensitive, gender-informed, and cross-cultural research, as well as intervention-focused studies.
