“…Uma dessas escalas é o Guilford-Zimmerman Temperament Survey (Guilford & Zimmerman, 1949), um teste de personalidade que inclui uma escala de masculinidade e a feminilidade que serviu de inspiração para a escala M do CPS (Comrey, 2008, p. 117 (Shields & Dicicco, 2011).…”

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.

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.

“…Established ideals of masculine gender identity have been in question since the feminist movement of the 20th century (Bakewell et al, 2006; Shields and Elaine, 2011). Where once a woman's place was said to be in the home, women are now much more involved in contributing to the income of the family (Bakewell et al, 2006).…”

Ideal Body Image: A Male Perspective on Self

Societal notions of masculinity have changed greatly in the last two decades and males appear more interested in improving or maintaining their appearance in ways traditionally reserved for women (such as the use of cosmetic grooming products). Where female body dissatisfaction and drivers of appearance-related image modification have been studied from a feminine perspective, little research has focused on the perspective of men in relation to these issues. The current study thus examines how males of different ages perceive their physical appearance and what motivates them to undertake activities related to changing or maintaining that appearance. The study does this by asking males to compare themselves to male body images as constructed in the media and by society more generally. An exploratory approach to research is undertaken, utilising focus groups and depth interviews with males in two age cohorts (18–25years and 33–45years). Results suggest that there is a difference in overall perceptions of body image between the two groups, with younger males striving for a lean and muscular body and older males focused on health and lifespan concerns. In contrast to research examining female body perceptions, this study indicates that the media and social comparison act as positive motivators rather than sources of body dissatisfaction.
