Course talk:PSYC305/2013ST2/ClassProject/2.2.1 Introduction - GD Studies

On this page outline studies that have used Gender Diagnosticity.

Hi everyone! I've added a summary on the "Stereotype Threat and The Gender Gap in Political Knowledge". The study looks at how gender diagnostic testing can influence women to score poorly on Political Knowledge surveys compared to men. I know it's a little late, but if you have the time, give it a read and make any changes that you find necessary. Thanks!

Hi everyone, I have added a summary of "How masculine ought I be? Masculinity discrepancies and aggression" by Weisbuch, Beal and O'Neal (199). They look at the levels of masculinity as scored by the BSRI (Bem Sex Role Inventory) in male undergraduates and their levels of aggression. I think this is an interesting study as the results provide support for ideas in personality psychology that aggressive traits are more common in males. I tried to keep the summary as concise as possible but please feel free edit it as needed and add on!

I also added a summary of "Sex Role Orientation and Self-Esteem: A Critical Meta-Analytic Review" by Bernard Whitley. The study looks at various studies results from scores on the BSRI and PAQ, such as high in masculinity, correlated with results from self-esteem measures. Again, I tried to make this summary as concise as possible over the past few days but please feel free to edit it some more! I most likely have missed something. Thanks!

Hello! I've added a summary of the "Gender-Related Traits of Heterosexual and Homosexual Men and Women" study which looks at differences in gay and heterosexual men's and lesbian and heterosexual women's occupational preferences and self-ascribed masculinity-feminity. Again, like the summary of the MBA Income study I completed yesterday, this is completely open to editing and refinement. I've edited it a few times in my own word processor and I'm at a point where everything looks too valuable to cut. Another set of eyes to make this entry more concise would be helpful, thanks!

Hi Schuolee, both your sections are very well-written. I don't think we can cut it down even more without sacrificing key points from the study. I just made a few grammar edits though!

Thanks for your feedback and editing JasmineChan! Must also give credit to JH, who edited the first study earlier :)

I finished my summary on "Effect of Culture on Relationship Between Sexual Orientation and Gender-Related Personality Traits". I'm still editing it myself, but please make some changes wherever you see fit! Thanks :)

Overall I'm really happy with how this section is looking. Other than my comments below, the only thing is that there are other studies that have used gender diagnosticity that haven't been included here yet (e.g. the sexual orientation studies).

I just completed a summary of a sexual orientation study that utilizes gender diagnosticity. Feel free to change anything. Thanks for the link, Kevin!

I'm working on summarizing the "Gender-Related Traits of Heterosexual and Homosexual Men and Women" and "Careers as tournaments: The impact of sex and gendered organizational culture preferences on MBAs’ income attainment," Thanks for the links Amy and Amanda!

No problem Schuolee! Looking forward to seeing the summary.

Nice work on the first article, "Careers as tournaments: The impact of sex and gendered organizational culture preferences on MBAs’ income attainment." It's very clearly written.

I'm currently working on summarizing the "Does Culture Moderate the Relationship Between Sexual Orientation and Gender-Related Personality Traits?" article. Thanks for the link, Amanda!

While I think this section was well written, I don't think we can include this in here because the article doesn't use a gender diagnosticity measure. Instead, it uses the "Conformity to Masculine Norms Inventory".

What do others think?

I also think even though this topic is one of sex differences in personality, since this study doesn't use a gender diagnosticity measure we may include other study instead. Such as "The Structure of Sexual Orientation and Its Relation to Masculinity, Femininity, and Gender Diagnosticity: Different for Men and Women" as Kevin has recommend below. It seems like some of us have missed this post so I will re-mention the cite here.

The Structure of Sexual Orientation and its Relation to Masculinity, Femininity, and Gender Diagnosticity: Different for Men and Women Richard Lippa, Sara Arad August 1997, Volume 37, Issue 3-4, pp 187-208 http://link.springer.com.ezproxy.library.ubc.ca/article/10.1023%2FA%3A1025695727149

Thank you Kevin

I agree that this article was summarized very well; however, since it does not use a GD measure, it might be better to not include it, as this page is a compilation of studies using a GD approach. Maybe the author of this section can offer his/her thoughts?

Also, I found a few more articles in the literature that have used a GD measure. If anyone is interested in adding to this page, please feel free to take a look at these articles:

Gender-Related Traits in Transsexuals and Nontranssexuals http://link.springer.com.ezproxy.library.ubc.ca/article/10.1023%2FA%3A1011962917346

Some Psychometric Characteristics of Gender Diagnosticity Measures: Reliability, Validity, Consistency Across Domains, and Relationship to The Big Five http://web.ebscohost.com.ezproxy.library.ubc.ca/ehost/detail?sid=50335d5e-c863-4fcc-9323-0acda5fdfe94%40sessionmgr10&vid=1&hid=12&bdata=JnNpdGU9ZWhvc3QtbGl2ZSZzY29wZT1zaXRl#db=pdh&AN=1992-11277-001

• • • this article might be relevant to our Limitations page too

Does Culture Moderate the Relationship Between Sexual Orientation and Gender-Related Personality Traits? http://ccr.sagepub.com.ezproxy.library.ubc.ca/content/35/1.toc

All articles were found through PsycINFO.

Oh geez, my apologies! I was evidently a little scatter brained while attempting to write this, and as noted, I missed the mark completely. I also found that article on Gender-Related Traits in Transsexuals and Nontranssexuals fairly recently, and assuming that no one else has decided to grab that yet, would certainly be willing to do a writeup on that instead.

Just a note that I'll be cropping out the depression study sometime today to replace it with the aforementioned study!

Thanks for the evidence of collaborative writing in this section. You might be able to take what you've learned from that article, Lisa, and summarise it somewhere else (perhaps the discussion). Also, the transsexuals article sounds like an interesting and relevant one to summarise here.

I found number of research which applied Gender Diagnosticity (the first one on the list is the one mentioned in our project outline)

Nice work.

Thanks Jaimie should we include a couple more studies in this section?

Yes, I think this section should include all studies that have used Gender Diagnosticity.

ok thanks jaimie

Thank you to everyone who has posted GD studies! Summarizing them has given me significantly more insight on GD and has allowed me to connect study findings with topics I have learned about in previous courses. If anybody is still having trouble with contributions/discussions, I highly recommend summarizing a study!

I summarized the study as best I could, but I think it could be more concise. I wasn't sure if some specifics (eg. how data was collected) should be described in more detail or if they should even be included at all. If you'd like to revise my work, you are welcome to!

I think this is written well, but agree it could be summarised more concisely.

Hi Schuolee,

Nice job on the summary! I read it over and made a few changes to the paragraph. Please let me know if you have any concerns/questions!

JH, It sounds SO much better and less repetitive. THANK YOU!! :)

This section looks really good. I just made a few changes to the wording of the first paragraph - I hope that makes it a bit more clear.

Thanks for making the changes Jaimie.

I just changed it from "explred" to "explored." Hope thats ok
