The sex-role-based perceptions of self and spouse in a group of female-to-male transsexuals, their wives, and a matched control group were studied. Each participant was given four copies of the Personal Attributes Questionnaire and asked to rate self, spouse, ideal self, and ideal spouse. The transsexual group rated themselves significantly higher than the control male group on the F scale, while there were no significant differences between the two groups on the M and M-F scales. The transsexuals' wives rated their spouses higher than did the control women on the F scale, and this difference approached significance. There were no significant differences between the spouse ratings of these two groups on the M and M-F scales. These results are discussed in terms of the relationship between sex role and gender identity and in terms of the theories that propose role strain as the cause of transsexualism.
对一组女变男的变性者、他们的妻子以及一个匹配的对照组基于性别角色的自我认知和配偶认知进行了研究。每位参与者都收到了四份《个人特质问卷》，并被要求对自己、配偶、理想自我和理想配偶进行评分。变性者组在F量表上对自己的评分显著高于对照组男性，而在M量表和M - F量表上两组之间没有显著差异。变性者的妻子在F量表上对其配偶的评分高于对照组女性，且这种差异接近显著水平。在M量表和M - F量表上，这两组配偶评分之间没有显著差异。根据性别角色与性别认同之间的关系以及提出角色紧张是变性主义成因的理论对这些结果进行了讨论。
