The Relationships among Sex, Gender Identity Factors, and Career-Decision-Situation-Specified Personality Traits
Kim, Ji-Hyeon; Karan, Orville
Asia Pacific Education Review, v5 n1 p39-49 2004
The present study revealed that gender identity involved the integration of various gender identity factors as suggested by Spence (1993) and that career-decision-situation-specified personality variables could be classified into higher order personality trait dimensions as suggested by Tellegen (1985). The results also indicate that the pattern of the relationships found in this study among masculine personality traits, feminine personality traits, and career-decision-situation-specified personality variables reflecting higher-order personality trait dimensions of Tellegen's (1985) model was similar to that of the relationships among masculine personality traits, feminine personality traits, and general personality traits reflecting higher-order personality trait dimensions in Lubinsky, Tellegen, and Butcher's (1981, 1983) studies. Multiple regression analyses showed that the addition of a gender identity role attitude factor and a gender identity behavioral interest factor to sex and a gender identity personality trait factor did not improve significantly the prediction of the career-decision-situation-specified personality variables.
