  • Parents’ Child-rearing Sex-Role Attitudes and Its Relationship with Their Gender Schematicity
    Chinese journal of clinical psychology, 2013
    Co-Authors: Cao Ren-yan
    Abstract:

    Objective:To explore the characteristics of parental child-rearing Sex-Role attitudes towards children aged 3-to 8-year old and its relationship with their gender schematicity.Methods: 349 children’s parents were examined by the Parental Child-rearing Sex-Role Attitudes Scale and the Bem’s Sex Role Inventory.Results: ①Fathers’ and mothers’ scores on the Parental Child-rearing Sex-Role Attitudes Scale were both significantly higher than the medians of the scale,and there was no significant differences between fathers’ and mothers’ scores.②Girls’ fathers and mothers scored both significantly higher than boys’ fathers and mothers on the Parental Child-rearing Sex-Role Attitudes Scale.③There were no significant differences among different age groups.④Gender schematic parents scored significantly lower than gender aschematic parents on the Parental Child-rearing Sex-Role Attitudes Scale.Conclusion: On the whole,the child-rearing gender-Role attitudes of parents tend to be nontraditional,but parents’ child-rearing gender-Role attitudes vary with children’s gender and their own gender schematicity.

  • Neuroendocrinology of Sex-Role Reversal.
    Integrative and comparative biology, 2020
    Co-Authors: Sara E. Lipshutz, Kimberly A. Rosvall
    Abstract:

    Females of some species are considered Sex-Role reversed, meaning that they face stronger competition for mates compared to males. While much attention has been paid to behavioral and morphological patterns associated with Sex-Role reversal, less is known about its physiological regulation. Here, we evaluate hypotheses relating to the neuroendocrine basis of Sex-Role reversal. We refute the most widely tested activational hypothesis for Sex differences in androgen secretion; Sex-Role reversed females do not have higher levels of androgens in circulation than males. However, we find some evidence that the effects of androgens may be Sex-specific; circulating androgen levels correlate with some competitive phenotypes in Sex-Role reversed females. We also review evidence that Sex-Role reversed females have higher tissue-specific sensitivity to androgens than males, at least in some species and tissues. Organizational effects may explain these relationships, considering that early exposure to Sex steroids can shape later sensitivity to hormones, often in Sex-specific ways. Moving forward, experimental and correlative studies on the ontogeny and expression of Sex-Role reversal will further clarify the mechanisms that generate Sex-specific behaviors and Sex Roles.

  • Relationship Between College Students' Sex Role and Adaptation——A Comparative Study Between Sex-Role Reversed and Sex Role Stereotyped
    Chinese journal of clinical psychology, 2012
    Co-Authors: Wang Xue-chen
    Abstract:

    Objective: To survey the distribution of the Sex-Role reversed and Sex-Role stereotyped in Chinese college students and to explore the relationship between Sex Role and adaptation.Methods: 766 college students were selected from three colleges in Shan Dong Province.They were assessed with the Chinese College Students' Sex-Role Inventory(CSRI-50) and College Student Adaptability Inventory.Results: ①11.2% of the students were Sex-Role reversed and 25.3% were Sex Role stereotyped.Both Sex-Role reversed and Sex Role stereotyped girls were more than boys.②Sex Role stereotyped boys were better than the reversed boys on adaptation,but the reversed girls had better adaptability.③Empathy,femininity and rationality had significant predictive effects on social adaptation of male;empathy,leadership,rationality generosity and femininity had significant predictive effects on social adaptation of female.

  • “Unpackaging” Acculturation Aspects of Acculturation as Predictors of Traditional Sex Role Attitudes
    Journal of Cross-Cultural Psychology, 2002
    Co-Authors: Jean S. Phinney, Juana Flores
    Abstract:

    In order to “unpackage” acculturation and gain a more nuanced understanding of the process, we examined separate aspects of acculturation as predictors of traditional Sex Role attitudes. Participants were 170 Hispanic adults (83 females and 87 males), including first-, second-, and third-generation immigrants with varying levels of education. Participants completed measures of each dimension of acculturation—ethnic retention (e.g., Spanish language, Hispanic friendships) and mainstream involvement (English language, non-Hispanic friendships)—and of traditional Sex Role attitudes. English language and non-Hispanic friendships were significant negative correlates of traditional Sex Role attitudes, but Spanish language and Hispanic friendships were unrelated to such attitudes. Being male, less educated, and of an earlier generation predicted traditional Sex Role attitudes, but gender differences in attitudes varied by generation and education levels. Results demonstrate that the acculturation process can be ...
