Earlier Approach
 
 

Feminine ---------- Neutral ------------ Masculine
 

-people are assigned a score by summing "masculine" traits, summing "feminine" traits, then subtracting one from the other

-comparisons between: a) masculine vs. feminine

                      b) sex-typed vs. non sex-typed
 
 

More Recent Approach (e.g., Sandra Bem)
 

                            Masculinity

                      Low                High

Femininity

   Low          (undifferentiated)     (masculine)
 

   High             (feminine)        (androgynous)
 
 

-people are assigned TWO SEPARATE scores
 

-comparisons between: a) and b) as in the EARLY APPROACH,

    but ALSO c) androgynous vs. sex-typed
