There has been considerable controversy concerning adaptive versus pathogenic effects of sex-role stereotypes on individual development. The author evaluates both the positive and negative consequences of sex-role stereotypes without regard for any particular sociocultural definition of masculinity or feminity. She hypothesizes that the degree to which sex-role stereotypes are adaptive and facilitative (as opposed to restrictive and pathogenic) is inversely related to the degree to which an individual has consolidated a comfortable and stable gender is identity. Implications for parenting and treatment are elaborated.
关于性别角色刻板印象对个体发展的适应性与致病性影响，一直存在相当大的争议。作者评估了性别角色刻板印象的积极和消极后果，而不考虑对男性气质或女性气质的任何特定社会文化定义。她假设，性别角色刻板印象具有适应性和促进性（与限制性和致病性相对）的程度与个体巩固舒适且稳定的性别认同的程度呈负相关。文中阐述了对育儿和治疗的启示。
