| Abstract | Noting inadequacies in previous conceptualizations of gender, a study analyzed students' descriptions of persons they identify as masculine or feminine and of situations in which these persons and the students themselves seem more or less feminine or masculine. Subjects, 83 male and 100 female undergraduate students in communication or psychology courses at a Mid-Atlantic suburban university or a liberal arts college in a small midwestern town, offered up to eight characteristics of the most feminine and the most masculine person they knew, whether that person ever seemed more or less feminine or more or less masculine, and rated themselves using the Bem Sex Role Inventory. Respondents identified gender as characteristics of persons, but also understood it as something that varied according to interaction partners and focus of activities. Responses show differences in how femininity and masculinity are constructed and in what situations influence gender perceptions. Findings suggest the need for a reconceptualization of gender to recognize its variation by situation and time as well as other factors such as race and class. Findings also suggest that understanding how gender actually operates in human interaction requires a more complex analysis than has occurred to date. (Contains 31 references and 2 tables of data. An appendix defines some of the categories in the tables.) (RS) |
