Social Class as a Moderator of the Relationship between Normative Male Alexithymia and Relationship Satisfaction
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Objective: Normative Male Alexithymia (NMA), a gender-linked, mild to moderate inability to verbally express emotions has been negatively linked to lower intimate relationship satisfaction (Karakis & Levant, 2012). The present study investigated the relationship between men’s experiences of emotion, couples relationship satisfaction, and social class. Method: 49 adult males in romantic relationships recruited from the internet provided data on their social class, experience of emotional expression, and relationship satisfaction. Results: The first hypothesis, that scores on the Normative Male Alexithymia Scale would negatively and significantly correlate with scores on the Couples Satisfaction Inventory, was supported (r = -0.504 , p<.001 ); the second hypothesis, that the negative relationship between scores on the NMAS and the CSI would be moderated by the social class variables, was not supported. Conclusion: Continuing research on issues related to social class and the relationship satisfaction of couples in which male partners suffer from NMA is an imperative task in developing professional, multi-culturally competent psychologists and psychotherapists (Wimer & Levant, 2013)

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot 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.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
