“…Bem asserted that androgynous individuals are able to show flexibility in their behavior and adapt to situations that demand behavior that is stereotypically more appropriate for one sex or the other by displaying behaviors that are masculine, instrumental, and assertive as well as those that are feminine, expressive, and yielding. In addition, androgyny has been linked to a communication style of rhetorical reflection associated with a concern for what is appropriate for a given situation (House, Dallinger, & Kilgallen, 1998).…”

Research suggests that gender role, rather than sex, is associated with the perception of individuals as leaders. This study tests the effect of gender role and intelligence on leadership emergence by using a pattern approach and manipulating task type. Two hundred female undergraduate participants, categorized by their pattern of masculinity, femininity, and intelligence, were placed in groups of 4 members. Groups were randomly assigned to an initiating-structure or consensus-building task condition. In the initiating-structure task condition, both masculine-intelligent and androgynous-intelligent individuals emerged more than feminine-intelligent or mixed-pattern individuals. In the consensus-building task condition, feminine-intelligent individuals did not emerge as leaders more than masculine-intelligent or mixed-pattern individuals. However, partial support was found for the emergence of androgynous-intelligent individuals.

“…Gender schematic information is a particularly influential aspect of social identity formation (see Bem, 1981Bem, , 1984Bem, , 1993House, Dallinger & Kilgallen, 1998;Yaeger-Dror, 1998). Of particular interest to the current study was the way participants might use language to frame gendered identities within their writing.…”

This study investigated ways in which gender identity is enacted within written language. Participants first supplied a self-descriptive letter that might be filed with a dating service. Next, they responded to a fabricated personal ad posted by a potential dating partner. Contextual factors in this study were writing task (self-description or response to a personal ad) and the gender role "bid" (either instrumental or expressive) of the hypothetical personal ad writer. Individual difference variables were biological gender and measured gender role orientation. Texts were coded for frequency of seven gender-typed language features (e.g., hedges, first-person pronouns). Writers' own gender role schemata affected their language use, as did their biological sex. Contextual factors were more potent than the writers' gender in affecting these stylistic features. Overall, writers altered their styles to complement (rather than converge toward) the apparent gender role orientations of their interlocutors.

“…Socially endorsed views of feminity and masculinity are taught to individuals through a variety of cultural means. For example, to be masculine is to be strong, ambitious, successful, rational and emotionally controlled (House, Dallinger, & Kilgallen, 1998). To be feminine, on the other hand, is to be physically attractive, deferential, emotionally expressive, nurturing and concerned with people and relationships.…”

Objective - While women make up almost 65% of undergraduates in public universities in Malaysia, only in the last three years their labour force participation rates have gone beyond the 50% mark. In addition, women form less than 20% of the legislature and Cabinet of Ministers in Malaysia. What pushes women in their achievements in education and what factors pull them back in other areas? How do patriarchal gender norms underpin their ability and decisions in life's choices and how have they understood and negotiated these norms? This paper aims to explore these questions through narratives of women in a public university. Methodology/Technique - The paper is based on Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) with 12 women who are staff and postgraduate students of the university. The respondents were divided into two groups: one consisting of the university's academic and administrative staff and the other postgraduate students. Separate discussions were conducted for each group. The discussions were transcribed and analysed. Findings - Findings show that women have confidence in their ability to contribute effectively and in the same manner as men in different spheres of their lives such as work, home and community. However, often they have had to negotiate their ways around various beliefs, practices and norms about the superiority of men in society. Novelty - The study researches factors that affects woman achievements in life. Type of Paper: Empirical Keywords: Gender roles and Characteristic, Masculinity, Patriarchy JEL Classification: J16, J18.
