“…Since the development and publication of the BSRI, gender schema theory has been used in numerous research studies (Blanchard-Fields, 1994;Hudak, 1993;Kapalka & Lachenmeyer, 1988;McMahan & Stacks, 1984). Sundvik and Lindeman (1993), for example, examined the effect of sex typing and biological gender on personnel ratings and found results that supported Bem's (1974Bem's ( , 1977aBem's ( , 1977b notion that sex-typed individuals (masculine and feminine gender schematic) differ from non-sex-typed individuals (androgynous and undifferentiated) in their generalized readiness to process information on the basis of sex.…”

Scholarly interest continues to grow in the complexities of training transfer, resulting in new models and instrumentation. New models enable expanded research efforts into the variable of individual differences and its effects on motivation to transfer. One individual difference that may influence subsequent transfer for certain types of training, such as interpersonal communication skills, is sex-typed thinking. This article linkssex-typed thinking to current transfer models and examines the origin of sex-typed thinking and its possible effect on transfer by integrating three theoretical frames: cultural orientation, gender schema theory, and social role theory. Implications for research and practice are also discussed.

“…This model revealed two new gender labels not previously considered: undifferentiated (low on both dimensions) and androgynous (high on both dimensions). In the discipline of communication, this approach has been used to explore differences in a large variety of variables, such as persuasion (Montgomery & Burgoon, 1977;Montgomery & Burgoon, 1980), cognitive complexity (McMahon & Stacks, 1984), and group communication patterns (Ellis & McCallister, 1980). A second influential innovation in the concept of gender was the ethnomethodological approach to gender.…”

This study argues that there is a relationship between a person 's psychological sex type and communicative carefulness in the small group decision-making situation. The major variables used to examine this relationship consisted of psychological sex type (independent) and vigilant communicative behavior (dependent). Specifically, four types of subjects (traditional males [TMsJ, traditional females [TFsJ, androgynous females [AFs], and androgynous males [AMs]) were rated on four communicative characteristics of vigilance (offering alternatives, suggesting goals of alternatives, supporting ideas with information, and reviewing tentative decisions). Results exposed a tendency on the part of the AFs and TMs to be more vigilant on two characteristics of vigilance: offering alternatives and providing information. No significant results were foundfor the vigilance characteristics of suggesting goals and reviewing a tentative decision.
