Gender Schema Measurement

Gender schema measurement assesses the degree to which a person organises and processes information through the lens of gender. Grounded in Sandra Bem's 1981 gender schema theory, it treats sex typing not merely as a set of traits but as a cognitive readiness to sort the world — including the self — into masculine and feminine categories. Measurement combines self-report sex-typing scores, typically from the Bem Sex-Role Inventory, with experimental tasks that reveal how spontaneously a person uses gender to encode and recall information.
