Abstract:
What individual differences in gender are important to study? Because gender refers to the cultural meanings ascribed to male and female social categories in societies, psychologists have focused on whether individuals define themselves in terms of these cultural meanings. We use the term gender identity to refer to these masculine and feminine self-definitions. Individuals differ in gender identity within each sex, and men and women differ on the average. Gender identity is only one of many possible social identities, with each identity representing ones psychological relationship to a particular social category in which one has membership. These personal attributes include (1) personality traits, with femininity typified by communal traits and masculinity by agentic traits and (2) vocational and interest self-descriptions. A feminine construal entails greater interdependence involving close relationships with significant other individuals versus a more masculine construal that might include greater independence from others or a greater collective focus on large groupings. Finally, we consider individual differences in the importance people place on defining themselves as a member of the social category of men or women.
