Individuals prefer their name letters over nonname letters, which is known as the name-letter effect (NLE). This research aimed to examine a possible NLE for gender-role orientation (GRO) by rating letters for their gender-typicality in an initial preference task (Gender-IPT). Indeed, a clear NLE appeared: Men rated their initials as more male-typical, whereas women rated them as more female-typical. The Gender-IPT showed good convergent validity with other direct and indirect (Gender Implicit Association Test) measures of GRO as well as predictive validity with sensation seeking and gender-typical everyday life behaviors. The Gender-IPT seems to be a useful and practical indirect measure to assess GRO in a short, convenient, and computer-independent way, complementing other indirect measures of GRO.
个体更喜欢自己姓名中的字母而非非姓名中的字母，这就是所谓的姓名效应（NLE）。本研究旨在通过在初始偏好任务（Gender-IPT）中评价字母的性别典型性来检验性别角色取向（GRO）的可能 NLE。事实上，确实出现了明显的 NLE：男性将自己的姓名首字母评定为更男性化，而女性则将其评定为更女性化。Gender-IPT 与其他直接和间接（性别内隐联想测验）GRO 测量方法以及与感觉寻求和性别典型日常行为具有良好的会聚效度。Gender-IPT 似乎是一种有用且实用的间接测量方法，可以通过简短、方便和独立于计算机的方式评估 GRO，补充其他间接测量 GRO 的方法。
