Abstract
Whereas the traditional hospital situation places a premium on inculcating an attitude of docility, compliance, and dependency on the part of the patient and his or her family, such attitudes are more often in direct conflict with the way in which most men in our society have been socialized. An understanding of how such gender role conditioning affects men's behavior would appear to have much value in offering more effective intervention procedures to terminally ill male patients and their families, and to men who are intimately involved with a terminally ill patient.
