Table 1 Hypotheses and underlying theoretical concepts
Hypotheses | Underlying intersectional quality |
|---|---|
a) Sex, gendered practices and immigration status are associated with mental and physical health, adjusted for additional indicators of social position, i.e. age, socioeconomic status, region of residence and marital status | Main effects needed to compare with effects for intersectional identities |
b) The intersection of sex, gendered practices and immigration status shows an effect that goes beyond the explanatory power of the individual stratifying variable | Multiplicativity quality in intersectionality theory |
c) Non-immigrant men with masculine gendered practices show the highest mental and physical health status | Directionality quality in intersectionality theory |
d) Androgynous and feminine gendered practices are associated with poorer physical and mental health compared to masculine gendered practices | |
e) Inconsistencies between social gendered practices and biological sex are associated with poorer health outcomes for both immigrant and non-immigrant populations |
