This study examined the relationship between hypermasculinity, which reflects exaggerated or extreme male gender role identification, and drinking self-regulation and drinking problems in male college students. Correlation analysis indicated significant negative correlation between hypermasculinity and drinking self-regulation, positive correlation between hypermasculinity and frequency/quantity of alcohol use. And there were significant positive correlation between hypermasculinity and the degree of drinking problems. Multiple regression analyses indicated that drinking self-regulation was the most powerful predictor of alcohol use and problems, and that unique contribution of hypermasculinity was small. Finally, based on these results, the possibility that hypermasculinity influences upon drinking problems mediated by drinking self-regulation was discussed.
