“…These trends demonstrate how gender, as a feature of identity is subject to historical and cultural influences (Holstein-Beck, 1995;Lippa & Connelly, 1990;Mac an Ghail, 1994;Reimer, 1995), uncertain and mutable rather than a fixed 'essentialist' attribute (Ganetz, 1995;Nielsen, 1996;Phoenix, 1997;Vik Kleven, 1993;Wallace & Kovatcheva, 1995). The construction of ones own biography and identity within a less certain world has become conceptualised as a personal project (Nielsen & Rudberg, 1994), something which brings both advantages and disadvantages.…”

Until the 1990s, the literature on youth leisure characterised that of females as home-based, passive and largely absent from male-dominated subcultures.Contrasting with this, over the course of the 1990s, evidence emerged of increasing public visibility, reduced restrictions on activities and relatively greater increases in health-risk behaviours among females, together with suggestions of a domestification of leisure among males This paper uses data from two cohorts of 15 year olds in the same geographical area (the West of Scotland), separated by 12 years (1987 and 1999) to examine changes in the gender patterning of young people's leisure, use of public space and risk taking (as represented by substance use) over this time period. Gender differences in 'street-based' (previously more males) and 'conventional/safe' (previously more females) leisure disappeared over this period while male excesses in watching sports and computer game-playing increased. At the same time, female levels of drinking and experience of illicit drugs reached, and those of smoking overtook, their male counterparts. Additional analyses showed that changes in leisure activities over time accounted in part for the changing gender patterns in substance use. The paper discusses how greater public visibility and increased risk-taking behaviours among females have resulted from the lifting of constraints of respectability on young women's lifestyles. These changes have been rapid and have significance in both social and health terms.

“…A pesquisa psicológica compreende hoje que esse tipo de instrumento está avaliando características socialmente consideradas masculinas e femininas expressas, sobretudo pelas preferências de homens e mulheres na época de sua criação (Lippa & Connelly, 1990). O pró-prio autor do CPS, reconhecendo essa tendência, afi rmou recentemente que com a publicação da versão revisada do instrumento em 1994, o nome da escala M foi alterada de "Masculinidade vs. Feminilidade" para "Resistência Mental vs. Sensibilidade" (Comrey, 2008, p. 132).…”

ResumoA partir da análise crítica da escala de Masculinidade e Feminilidade (M) da versão brasileira da Escala de Personalidade de Comrey (CPS), o objetivo deste estudo é recuperar o tratamento histórico que a psicologia feminista deu às ideias de sexo e gênero e seus desdobramentos. Além disso, pretende apontar para uma concepção de gênero autodesignada, não essencialista, pluralista e não patológica. Por fi m, visa a analisar como o CPS é mantido como medida psicológica válida no contexto brasileiro em paralelo, contraditoriamente, com a defesa da igualdade de gênero. O uso do CPS no Brasil parece se relacionar ao fato de que os estudos feministas na psicologia social e a avaliação psicológica se consolidaram com poucas interfaces e com bases epistemológicas distintas. Conclui-se apontando que as prá-ticas psicológicas, com ênfase as medidas de avaliação de gênero, sejam revistas à luz do conhecimento contemporâneo dos estudos de gênero e da psicologia feminista. Palavras-chave:Avaliação psicológica, gênero, sexo, Escala de Personalidade de Comrey. Inequalities Maintenance in the Brazilian Psychology Gender Assessment AbstractFrom the critical analysis of the Masculinity and Femininity scale (M) of the Brazilian version of Comrey Personality Scale (CPS), the aim of this study is to recover the historical treatment that feminist psychology gave to the ideas of sex and gender and its implications. It also aims to point to a self-designated, non essentialist, pluralistic and non pathological conception of gender. Finally, aims to analyze how the CPS is maintained as valid psychological measure in the Brazilian context in parallel, paradoxically, with the defense of gender equality. The use of CPS in Brazil seems to be related to the fact that, in this context, women's studies in social psychology and psychological assessment were consolidated with few interfaces and with distinct epistemological foundations. We conclude by pointing out that the psychological practices, with emphasis on gender assessment, must be reviewed in the light of contemporary gender studies and feminist psychology.

“…In that study, 40 role-words assessed participants' gender diagnosticity, Lippa and Connelly's (1990) reformulation of gender role orientation. Nearly 200 UK participants, predominantly students from the University of Edinburgh, rated the extent to which they would like to engage in each role (e.g., 'I would like to be a pilot' or 'I would like to be a This article may not exactly replicate the final version published in the APA journal.…”
