Lay beliefs about self-identity: the case of gender
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- The current dissertation contains three series of studies that revealed laypeople's nuanced, meticulous, and early-emerging attentiveness to gender membership, gender self-identification, and gender roles and norms in their personal and social life. Specifically, the studies together suggest that laypeople's conceptualizations of gender seem to display a rather sophisticated structure that (1) allows for simultaneous and separate judgments about gender membership; (2) considers the distinct influences of one's internal sense of gender, gender roles ascribed by society, and the physical forms stereotypically associated with different gender groups; and (3) demonstrates remarkable variability across individuals, cultural and historical contexts, and one's own life span.
