How stress levels can affect different genders on their personality

Great idea. How might the new Gender Diagnosticity scale we've designed help here? do you think asking about gender diagnosticity might tell us more about people's response to stress than just asking their gender itself?

I think it might tell us something about their response in a more subconscious level since the items might not be directly addressing their stressful situation or coping strategies. I believe it might be seen as a projective test measuring gender difference to stressors, which we learned in class has its pros and cons.

While we are talking about how stress affects personalities and the incidence of mental disorders on one gender or the other, I think future research on how sexual abuse and violence in general intersect with gender diagnosticity could be of interest. Men are outnumbered by women in this category, and due to the fact that the consequences of sexual abuse and violence are lingering and are difficult to overcome, they should affect an individual's personality - especially if the abuse happens during the years of formation.
