  1. Greetings, earthlings. We have noticed that there are two sorts of human, women and men. How are they different?

  2. Today’s session

  3. What do you think these terms mean? • Sex • Gender • Sex-role stereotype

  4. Gender terminology • Sex – biological characteristics of a person (genes/chromosomes; reproductive anatomy) • Male & female • Gender – psychological or behavioural characteristics of a person relating to their sex (ways of thinking, feeling, acting) • Masculine & feminine • Sex-role stereotypes – widely held beliefs about expected or appropriate ways of acting for men and women

  5. From the list we made earlier select one example of a sex difference, one example of a gender difference, and one example of a sex-role stereotype.

  6. Androgyny Andros = male Gyne = female Annie Lennox. Source unknown.

  7. Androgyny (Bem, 1974) • Masculinity and femininity are independent traits • They are not inevitably linked to sex • A person can score high or low on either or both High High femininity masculinity Low Low

  8. Androgyny • Why did Bem (1975) find that androgynous people were more psychologically healthy? • How far does it matter that the BSRI was based on the views of US Americans in the 1970s? • The BSRI is a quantitative, self-report measure. Does this raise any validity concerns?
