Abstract

Previous research focusing on gender-roles and self-concept suggests a positive relationship between masculinity and self-concept. The present study explores self-perceptions of being a "tomboy," gender-role and ratings of self-confidence in later success. Higher self-ratings on the tomboy scale correlated with confidence in career success but not with confidence in passing a college course or jogging for 20 min. There was a positive correlation between masculinity scores but not femininity scores with tomboy ratings. Masculine characteristics such as independence, aggression competitiveness, leadership ability, ability to defend, stand by beliefs, mediated by compassion appear to be positively correlated with perceptions of success.

摘要

以往关注性别角色和自我概念的研究表明，男子气概与自我概念之间存在积极关系。本研究探讨了成为“假小子”的自我认知、性别角色以及对未来成功的自信评分。在假小子量表上的自我评分越高，与对职业成功的信心相关，但与通过大学课程或慢跑20分钟的信心无关。男子气概得分与假小子评分之间存在正相关，而女性气质得分与假小子评分之间不存在正相关。诸如独立、进取、竞争、领导能力、捍卫能力、坚持信念等男性特征，在同情心的调节下，似乎与成功认知呈正相关。
