Feminine gender role stress (FGRS) involves the cognitive appraisal of specific situations as stressful for women. While the negative relationship between stress and health has been well documented, gender specific stress has received little attention. This study sought to explore the relationships between FGRS and somatic symptoms and FGRS and sexual functioning, as well as the predictive ability of FGRS versus traditional femininity within these relationships. While FGRS and traditional femininity are based on the feminine gender role, previous research indicates that the two constructs are only weakly related. Undergraduate women from two local universities were invited to participate in this study, and data was collected either online or in person with paper copies. A total of 243 women participated in this study, of which 224 completed an adequate amount of data for analysis. Participant age ranged from 18 to 23-years-old (M = 18.94, SD = 1.14), and the majority of participants were Caucasian (77.2%). Results of the correlation and multiple regression analyses suggested FGRS ( r = .20, p = .01; R² = .04, adjusted R² = .03, F[1, 153] = 6.37, p = .01), but not femininity ( r = .02, p = .41; R² = .00, adjusted R² = -.01, F[1, 153] = .05, p = .82), was significantly related to and a predictor of somatic symptoms. Neither FGRS nor femininity was found to be correlated with sexual functioning (r = -.11, p = .10, r = -.05, p = .32, respectively). Neither construct was a significant predictor of sexual functioning ( R² = .01, adjusted R² = .01, F[1, 127] = 1.68, p = .20, R² = .00, adjusted R² = -.01, F[1, 127] = .23, p = .63, respectively). However, this finding is questionable given participant demographics suggesting low to no current sexual activity. Interestingly, FGRS and femininity were found to be moderately related (r = .39, p = .00). Results mirror previous research in supporting FGRS as a stronger predictor of negative outcomes compared to femininity, and also suggest that gender specific stress is an important component in examining somatic complaints among women.
