I agree that this may be too detailed. However, the Smiler & Epstein paper is quite extensive in explaining the measures they reviewed, and it was quite difficult interpreting each measure. I attempted to summarize the measures by providing context on what they measure as well as what findings they have achieved in the past. If I didn't mention these aspects of the measures then I was afraid of it being too generic and not informative. For example, if I had just said that Smiler & Epstein measure the construct of "support and adherence to cultural gender norms" by using trait measures, then this provides no background information on what trait measures are and what the outcomes of these measures were. With that said, I can see how the length of this section might become too long if we mention all of the measures.
