Evaluating Androgyny in Personality Traits

This study examines evaluations of individuals portrayed as masculine, feminine, androgynous, or undifferentiated. Androgynous individuals are liked most and perceived as well-adjusted, while undifferentiated are liked least. Implications for psychology and the importance of assessing masculinity and femininity traits are discussed. Should an "undifferentiated" category be added? Understanding the literature on masculinity/femininity is crucial.
