Masculinity and Aggression

Masculinity and Aggression

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!
