| Summary≠ | 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. | The Bem Sex-Role Inventory (BSRI) is a 60-item self-report instrument developed by Sandra L. Bem in 1974 to measure psychological androgyny — the degree to which a person endorses culturally masculine and culturally feminine personality attributes independently of their biological sex. Respondents rate how well each of 20 masculine, 20 feminine, and 20 neutral filler traits describes them on a 7-point scale, and are then classified as masculine, feminine, androgynous, or undifferentiated. |
