Androgyny, Sex-Typing, and the Perception of Masculinity-Femininity in Handwritings

Lippa, Richard

Journal of Research in Personality, 11, 1, 21-37, Mar 77

Sex-typed and androgynous subjects rated the similarity of handwritings on masculinity-femininity and also rated the writings on an absolute scale of masculinity-femininity. The data supported the hypothesis that subjects who monitor their own behavior on a given dimension are more sensitive to cues in others relating to that dimension. (Editor/RK)
