In this study, we examined the relationship between psychological androgyny and optimal mental health in a sample of adults seeking career consultation (N = 154). Most earlier research on the subject employed self-report measures of well-being or adjustment. In this study, we employed an "observer-by-proxy" measure of optimal mental health that, although based on self report data, provides an empirically based estimate of ratings that clinicians would make using the California Q-set (Block, 1961/1978). High levels of both masculinity and femininity are associated with higher levels of optimal mental health. These findings represent a rare example of support for the additive androgyny hypothesis and argue for its further study. We also discuss the construct validity of the masculinity and femininity scales we used, and we argue for further study of our mental health measure.
在本研究中，我们对154名寻求职业咨询的成年人样本进行了心理双性化与最佳心理健康之间关系的研究。此前关于该主题的大多数研究都采用了幸福感或适应能力的自我报告测量方法。在本研究中，我们采用了一种“代理观察者”对最佳心理健康的测量方法，该方法虽然基于自我报告数据，但能提供临床医生使用加州Q分类表（布洛克，1961/1978）所做评分的基于实证的估计。男性气质和女性气质的高水平都与更高水平的最佳心理健康相关。这些发现是支持相加性双性化假设的罕见实例，并主张对其进行进一步研究。我们还讨论了我们所使用的男性气质和女性气质量表的结构效度，并主张对我们的心理健康测量方法进行进一步研究。
