The academics surveyed nearly 2,500 people in the US and found that men were not only less inclined to wear face masks than women. They also considered that donning a mask was "shameful, not cool and a sign of weakness".
"This happened particularly in counties where face covering is not mandatory," Dr Capraro explains.
Women were almost twice as likely as men to say they intended "to wear a mask outside their home".
"Men are less inclined to wear a face covering, and one of the main reasons is that they are more likely to believe that they will be relatively unaffected by the disease compared to women," adds the scientist.
"This is particularly ironic because official statistics show that actually coronavirus impacts men more seriously than women."
Other studies have consistently shown that men are also less compliant towards hand-washing, one of the basic hygiene measures to help prevent the spread of Covid-19 - with one recent poll finding that 65% of women but only 52% of men say they are washing their hands regularly.
