本文报告了一套适用于8至14岁儿童的性别分型措施（见Antill，Russell，Goodnow和Cotton，1993）。它们涉及陈规定型观念、平等主义、对跨性别行为的反应、对性别类型职业的偏好以及成为同性或异性的愿望。这些措施在概念上符合休士顿（1983年）的类别概念或信仰（与性别有关）和偏好，态度和价值观（为自己或他人）。样本包括来自191个双亲家庭（193名男性，189名女性）的第一个和第二个孩子。161个家庭的儿童进行了第二次评估，平均在第一次测试后16个月。这些措施被证明有适当的心理测量特性：中度到高α系数值，在适当的情况下，在预期方向的性别差异，并随着时间的推移适度的一致性。在手段发生变化的情况下，它们表明性别角色的灵活性更大。这些措施之间的相互关系表明，在一些小组的措施，特别是在休士顿的类别概念或信念（有关性别）的一致性。然而，研究结果支持性别分型的多维观点，并提请注意使用单一措施的研究的局限性。
This paper reports on a further set of measures of sex-typing suitable for use with 8- to 14-year-olds (see Antill, Russell, Goodnow, & Cotton, 1993). They involve stereotyping, egalitarianism, reactions to cross-sex behaviours, preferences for sex-typed occupations, and desire to be the same or the other sex. The measures fit conceptually into Huston's (1983) categories Concepts or beliefs (related to gender) and Preferences, attitudes and values (for self or others). The sample comprised first- and second-born children from 191 two-parent families (193 males, 189 females). The children in 161 families were assessed on a second occasion, on average 16 months after the first testing. The measures were shown to have suitable psychometric properties: moderate to high alpha coefficient values, sex differences in the expected direction where appropriate, and moderate consistency over time. Where changes in means occurred, they indicated greater flexibility in sex roles. Intercorrelations among the measures revealed some coherence within subgroups of measures, particularly within Huston's category Concepts or beliefs (related to gender). However, the results support a multidimensional view of sex-typing, and draw attention to the limitations of studies which use single measures of this variable.
