“Based on this review of the emotion socialization literature, I put forth the normative male alexithymia hypothesis (Levant, 1992; Levant & Williams, 2009), which stated that boys reared to conform to the masculinity norm1 of restrictive emotionality will likely become at least mildly alexithymic. Alexithymia is a clinical term that refers to an individual’s difficulty identifying and describing their emotional experiences. As previously noted, the term literally means “without words for emotions.”
