Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Historiquement, l'importance portée à l'apparence physique est un stéréotype plutôt associé aux femmes. De nos jours les caractéristiques masculines aussi ont developpé des normes. Par conséquent les hommes sont devenus de plus en plus concernés avec leur image. A travers des interviews avec quatorze hommes canadiens, le rôle de la chevelure, en terme d'identité personelle et satisfaction ou dissatisfaction avec son propre corps, a été examiné. Des études démontrent que la masculinité et l'apparence physique sont de plus en plus liées, et la culture de consommation cultive un climat qui encourage les hommes à considérer que leur apparence physique nécessite un important investissement. Les recherches suggèrent que les hommes se préoccupent de leur image corporelle—spécifiquement leur chevelure—et qu'il y a une relation directe entre la masculinité, l'apparence physique et l'estime de soi. Les résultats sont discutés dans les théories sur la masculinité et le consumérisme. Historically, being concerned about appearance was stereotypically associated with women. Now masculinities too have become embedded in appearance norms. Consequently men too are increasingly concerned about their appearance. Via interviews with 14 Canadian men, the role of hair in self-identification and both satisfaction and dissatisfaction with appearance is examined. Emergent themes suggest that masculinity and appearance are increasingly intertwined, and consumer culture cultivates a climate that encourages men to view their appearance as something worthy of investment. Findings suggest that men are concerned about their appearance—specifically their hair—and that there is a relationship between masculinity, appearance, and self-identification. Findings are discussed within theories of masculinity and consumerism.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
