This monograph provides an overview of historical theories in gender differentiation and suggests several new methods designed to assess the gender-related attitudes toward others and the gender-related characterization of the self in both children and adults.

Old theories are tested and critically assessed in terms of more current ideas about gender differentiation.
Includes commentaries by Diane Ruble and Kim Powlishta.

Rebecca S. Bigler is Associate Professor of Psychology at the University of Texas at Austin.
