The Relationship Between Gender and Individual Psychological Characteristics of Personality
Abstract
Of particular relevance today are studies in the field of gender and its relationship with various individual psychological characteristics of the individual. Observations in the field of gender show that the manner of behavior, features of personal response to a situation, ways out of a problematic situation are determined by the type of gender identity.
The purpose of our study was to study the relationship between gender and individual psychological characteristics of personality.
Research methods: the gender role questionnaire by S.Bem, the test by T. Leary (modified by Yu. A. Reshetnyak, G. S. Vasilchenko), correlation analysis was used for data processing. 60 respondents, aged from 18 to 22 years, acted as the research material. The article presents a theoretical overview of the problem of gender identity from the point of view of various directions. Views on the dichotomy of gender identity and interpersonal interaction are presented. During the experimental study, using correlation analysis, the main system-forming components were identified such as: dominance and friendliness, in the structure of which other characteristics can be entered, for dominance: authoritarianism, egoism, aggressiveness, suspicion, for friendliness: altruism, dependence, subordination. At the same time, it is worth noting that the study did not reveal high correlations between gender identity and interpersonal interaction. Many researchers strive to give clear characteristics of gender differences, and therefore rigidly attribute to feminine manifestations such traits as: altruism, submissiveness, gentleness, timidity, emotionality, etc., to masculine manifestations are attributed: aggressiveness, egoism, authoritarianism, etc. But these manifestations are not clearly attributed to one or another gender, because one and the same characteristic is inherent in both genders, but its manifestations will be different. Therefore, the dichotomy of this issue can form the basis for further research.
