Independence of Masculine and Feminine Traits: Empirical Exploration of a Prevailing Assumption.
Heilbrun, Alfred B., Jr.; Bailey, Becky A.
Sex Roles, v14 n3-4 p105-22 Feb 1986
Examination of self-descriptions of 1,623 undergraduates (collectedd in 1958-64, 1970-74, and 1977-82) failed to support the prevailing assumption that masculinity and femininity develop independently. Rather, a positive relation was found between the presence of masculine and feminine traits within the same individual even when gender and state of the feminist movement were considered. (KH)
