Effects of Gender on Willingness to Report Symptoms of Depression

Effects of Gender on Willingness to Report Symptoms of Depression

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:

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.
