Sex Roles. 2011 Jun;64(11-12):826-842. doi: 10.1007/s11199-010-9902-3.
The late 1960s through the 1970s marked an important turning point in the field of gender research, including theory and research in gender development. The establishment of Sex Roles in 1975 as a forum for this research represented an important milestone in the field. In this article, we celebrate the 35th anniversary of Sex Roles and, in particular, its contributions to the field of research on children's and adolescents' gender development. We examine the trends in research on gender development published in Sex Roles since its inception and use this analysis as a vehicle for exploring how the field has grown and evolved over the past few decades. We begin with a brief review of the history of this field of research since 1975. Then, we present a descriptive assessment of articles published on gender development in Sex Roles over time, and link this assessment to general trends that have occurred in the study of gender development over the past 35 years. We conclude with a discussion of future directions for the field of gender development. In particular, we highlight areas in which the journal could play a role in promoting more diversity in topics, methods, and ages employed in gender development research.
20世纪60年代末到70年代是性别研究领域（包括性别发展理论与研究）的一个重要转折点。1975年《性别角色》作为该研究的一个论坛创立，这是该领域的一个重要里程碑。在本文中，我们庆祝《性别角色》创刊35周年，特别是它对儿童和青少年性别发展研究领域的贡献。我们考察了《性别角色》自创立以来发表的性别发展研究趋势，并以此分析为契机，探究该领域在过去几十年里是如何发展演变的。我们首先简要回顾自1975年以来该研究领域的历史。然后，我们对《性别角色》随时间推移发表的有关性别发展的文章进行描述性评估，并将这一评估与过去35年性别发展研究中出现的总体趋势联系起来。我们最后讨论性别发展领域的未来方向。特别是，我们强调该期刊在促进性别发展研究在主题、方法和研究对象年龄方面的更多样性上可以发挥作用的领域。
