Spence, Janet T.; Hall, Sharon K.

Sex Roles: A Journal of Research, v35 n11-12 p659-91 Dec 1996

Assessed gender-related self-perceptions, activity preferences, and occupational stereotypes in 468 elementary school students. Correlations among the gender-related measures were more congruent with a multifactorial approach to gender than the unifactorial gender schema model or the two-factor model of masculinity and femininity. Instrumentality was correlated with self-esteem in both genders. (GR)
