An increasing number of individuals openly identify as non-binary (i.e., not exclusively female or male). Accordingly, psychological research on non-binary identities has expanded rapidly. We review key insights from this growing literature, first examining work that has demonstrated links between beliefs about the true nature of gender and/or sex (gender/sex) and feelings toward non-binary people. We also review research on non-binary people's self-concepts, which has shown the inadequacy of binary-focused gender/sex measurement practices for effectively studying non-binary people's lives and has suggested treating gender/sex as multidimensional. Then, we consider scholarship on non-binary people's wellbeing, including work exploring sources of joy and pleasure in non-binary people's lives (e.g., gender euphoria). Finally, we discuss recent advances in gender-inclusive theories and methods.
越来越多的人公开表示自己是非二元性别(即,不是纯粹的女性或男性)。因此,关于非二元性别的心理学研究迅速发展。我们回顾了这一不断增长的文献中的关键见解,首先考察了表明关于性别(性别/性)的真实本质的信念与对非二元性别者的感受之间存在联系的研究。我们还回顾了关于非二元性别者自我概念的研究,该研究表明,以二元性别为重点的性别/性测量实践对于有效地研究非二元性别者的生活是不充分的,并建议将性别/性视为多维的。然后,我们考虑了关于非二元性别者幸福感的学术研究,包括探索非二元性别者生活中的快乐和愉悦的来源的工作(例如,性别欣快)。最后,我们讨论了性别包容理论和方法的最新进展。
