Perceptions of Masculinity, Femininity, and Androgyny among a Select Cohort of Gifted Adolescent Males.

Wilcove, Jonathan L.

Journal for the Education of the Gifted, v21 n3 p288-309 Spr 1998

A study that explored the gender schemata of a select cohort of 13 adolescent males found they had an androgynous sex-role identity. Most of the adolescents employed a sophisticated critical rationalism to construct their gender schemata; however, several expressed awareness of an asynchrony between their emotional and intellectual development.
