Edwards, John; Enneking, Christine – 1987
While much of the research on sex roles has treated gender self-perceptions and stereotypes in terms of chronic traits, sex role stereotypes may apply to specific situations and activities as they do to more global traits. Perceptions of masculinity and femininity, therefore, may vary across situations. This study used a situational approach to…

Whitley, Bernard E., Jr.; Golin, Sanford – 1981
Most research examining the relationship between sex role orientation and psychological well-being has been guided by either the congruence, androgyny, or masculinity model. The congruence model predicts that low self-esteem and high depression are consequences of gender/sex role incongruence. The androgyny model predicts that high self-esteem and…

Fox-Genovese, Elizabeth; Podles, Leon – American Enterprise, 1995
Elizabeth Fox-Genovese argues that the defense of single-sex education for women, with its demonstrated benefits, must include its defense for men as well. Leon Podles agrees that there is a place for single-sex education but supports it as a way to give boys an initiation into masculinity. (SLD)

Catano, James V. – College English, 1990
Argues that the myth of the self-made man commits a fundamental error by downplaying the importance of social definition and equating masculine growth with an escape from the boundaries of origins (race, class, sex) and institutions. Discusses the myth in terms of its history and writing pedagogies employed in some classrooms. (TB)

Marsh, Herbert W. – Multivariate Behavioral Research, 1987

Compares gender role conflict in 145 female athletes and nonathletes; issues of masculinity, femininity, and self-concept; and influence due to parent's previous sports participation.

Long, Vonda O. – 1989
While current research is beginning to suggest that it is masculinity that correlates with mental health, results are inconclusive and studies have primarily focused on limited measures of mental health. This study incorporated multiple measures of self-concept in an analysis of the relationship between sex-role orientation and mental health of…

Whitley, Bernard E., Jr.; Sweeney, Paul D. – 1981
Research has revealed linkages among sex, sex-role self-concept, self-esteem, and attributional style, suggesting that sex-role self-concept may mediate the relationship between biological sex and attributional style. Female undergraduates (N=140) completed several questionnaires, including the Bem Sex Role Inventory to determine sex-role…

Matteo, Sherri – Sex Roles, 1988
Sex-typed subjects express concerns about the gender appropriateness of a sport more often than androgynous and undifferentiated subjects. Moreover, they rate gender-based factors as more important to their decisions than do the latter two groups. (Author/BJV)

Describes a new self-disclosure questionnaire devised to examine women's and men's willingness to disclose information about their "masculine" and "feminine" aspects. Applied to 156 undergraduates, the scale was found to be reliable and valid, and particularly useful when the concern is with the disclosure of instrumental and…

Marsh, Herbert W.; Smith, Ian – 1984
Masculinity (M) and Femininity (F) were related to multiple dimensions of self-concept for responses from 962 high school students. Androgyny theory predicts that F, as well as M, will contribute positively and uniquely to self-concept, but previous research has typically found that the contribution of F is nil or even negative after controlling…

Dixon, Carolyn – International Studies in Sociology of Education, 1996
Explores the tensions and interactions among four 13-year-old boys in a British secondary classroom. Suggests that the boys subscribe to a hegemonic ideal of masculinity that celebrates autonomy as the individualized rejection of dependence in relationships in school. Relates this to broader changes in available social texts. (MJP)

Kessels, Ursula – European Journal of Psychology of Education, 2005
The goal of the study was twofold: (1) to examine the relationship between the gender-stereotyped perceptions of prototypic peers excelling in different school subjects and the personal liking for these subjects: (2) to examine whether the popularity of adolescents depends on their gender-role congruent achievement at school. Participants were n =…
