Looking at and Longing for Male and Female “Swimsuit Models”: Men Are Much More Category Specific Than Women
Men’s sexual attractions tend to be more category specific than women’s—that is, men tend to be attracted to either women or men, whereas women are more likely to show some degree of attraction to both sexes. To explore this phenomenon further, the authors assessed 62 heterosexual men and 79 heterosexual women on their time spent viewing and self-reported sexual attraction to photographed male and female “swimsuit models” who varied in attractive…

Subdomains of Gender‐Related Occupational Interests: Do They Form a Cohesive Bipolar M‐F Dimension
In four studies, with a total of 1780 male and 2969 female participants, subdomains of masculine and feminine occupations were identified from sets of occupational preference items. Identified masculine subdomains included “blue‐collar realistic” (e.g., carpenter), “educated realistic” (electrical engineer), and “flashy, risk‐taking” (jet pilot). Feminine subdomains included “fashion‐related” (fashion model), “artistic” (author), “helping” (socia…
Sexual Orientation and Personality
The relation between sexual orientation and personality was examined in a meta-analysis with a total sample of 2,724 heterosexual men, 799 gay men, 157 bisexual men, 5,053 heterosexual women, 697 lesbian women, and 317 bisexual women. Self-ascribed masculinity-femininity (Self-M-F) and gender-related interests showed the largest heterosexual-homosexual differences (respective ds = .60 and 1.28 for men, and -1.28 and -1.46 for women) and the large…

Gender diagnosticity: A new Bayesian approach to gender-related individual differences
Some psychometric characteristics of gender diagnosticity measures: Reliability, validity, consistency across domains, and relationship to the Big Five
Preferences for various occupations, school subjects, everyday activities, and hobbies and amusements were rated by 119 male and 145 female Ss. Discriminant analyses were conducted to compute gender diagnostic probabilities. Ss also rated themselves on Big Five traits and completed the Bem Sex-Role Inventory (BSRI) and the Personal Attributes Questionnaire (PAQ). Results indicated that (a) gender diagnosticity measures showed high reliability, (b…
Are 2D: 4D finger-length ratios related to sexual orientation? Yes for men, no for women
The ratio of index and ring finger lengths (2D:4D) is thought to be a marker of prenatal androgen exposure. In a sample of over 2,000 participants, men had significantly lower 2D:4D ratios than women (d = .36 and .23 for right and left hands, respectively), and these results were consistent across ethnic groups. Heterosexual men had significantly lower (more male typical) 2D:4D ratios than gay men (d = .32 and .31 for right and left hands, respec…

Gender-related individual differences and psychological adjustment in terms of the Big Five and circumplex models
In 2 studies, college men and women were assessed on the Big Five, masculinity (M), femininity ( F), gender diagnosticity (GD), and a broad array of adjustment measures, including a circumplex measure of interpersonal problems. Study I showed that M and F but not GD have strong Big Five and circumplex representations. Also, M and F but not GD correlate with Negative Affectivity and various interpersonal problems, and M correlates with aggressiven…

To answer this question, the authors assessed gender-related traits in 90 gay men, 82 lesbians, 71 heterosexual men, and 95 heterosexual women from three cultural groups: Asian Americans, Hispanic Americans, and White Americans. Among the gender-related traits measured were gender diagnosticity (GD), which assesses maleversus female-typ…

Expressive control and the leakage of dispositional introversion-extraversion during role-played teaching1
Androgyny, sex-typing, and the perception of masculinity-femininity in handwritings
Expressive control, expressive consistency, and the correspondence between expressive behavior and personality1
Does expressive behavior reflect personality? This paper proposes that expressive control is an important “moderating variable” affecting expressive behavior, expressive consistency, and the correspondence between expressive behavior and personality. To demonstrate this, a study was carried out in which 68 subjects were selected, according to a 2×2×2 factorial design, who were low and high on assessed extraversion, neuroticism, and self-monitorin…

The effects of self-monitoring and self-reported consistency on the consistency of personality judgments made by strangers and intimates
Sex typing and the perception of body outlines
Does sex typing influence one's direct perception of gender from physical body cues? To answer this question, a study was conducted in which 47 female and 39 male subjects, after filling out the Bem Sex Role Inventory, viewed 24 body outlines varying in waist and shoulder width. Subjects were asked to indicate whether each body was female or male, or whether they were uncertain about its gender. Subjects also selected what they judged to be the m…

The Display of Masculinity, Femininity, and Gender Diagnosticity in Self‐Descriptive Photo Essays
Thirty-seven college men and 57 college women assessed on Gender Diagnosticity (GD), Masculinity (M), and Femininity (F) created self-descriptive photo essays, which were then rated by six judges on 38 personality characteristics, including masculinity and femininity. Lay judges reliably rated men and women's masculinity and femininity from photo essay information. Men's GD strongly correlated with their judged masculinity and femininity, M with …

Genetic and Environmental Influences on Individual Differences in Masculinity, Femininity, and Gender Diagnosticity: Analyzing Data From a Classic Twin Study
Analyzing data from Loehlin and Nichols's (1976) classic twin study, we computed measures of Masculine Instrumentality (M), Feminine Expressiveness (F), and Gender Diagnosticity (GD). Quantitative genetic modeling analyses of within‐sex individual differences in M, F, and GD indicated that: (1) Additive genetic factors contribute significantly to individual differences in M, F, and GD. (2) The environmental effects on M, F, and GD tend to be nons…

Gender‐Related Traits in Gay Men, Lesbian Women, and Heterosexual Men and Women: The Virtual Identity of Homosexual‐Heterosexual Diagnosticity and Gender Diagnosticity
Three studies investigated the relationship between gender‐related traits and sexual orientation. Study 1 showed that gay men and lesbians in an unselected sample of 721 college students differed from same‐sex heterosexuals most strongly on gender diagnosticity (GD) measures, which assess male‐ versus female‐typicality of interests (effect sizes of 2.70 for men and .96 for women) and least strongly on measures of instrumentality (I) and expressiv…
