Hoffman, Rose Marie; Hattie, John A.; Borders, L. DiAnne
Journal of Humanistic Counseling, Education and Development, v44 n1 p66 Spr 2005
Analyses of responses to the Hoffman Gender Scale (R. M. Hoffman, L. D. Borders, & J. A. Hattie, 2000) questions "What do you mean by femininity?" (female respondents) and "What do you mean by masculinity?" (male respondents) provided a framework for conceptualizing respondents' personal definitions of these constructs. Implications for counseling, education, and research are discussed.
