Current concepts of sex role development suggest that roles vary between sex-appropriate polar masculinity and femininity to complex androgyny at various points in life. Reviews of previous research suggest that certain roles may be more or less adaptive for an individual. In the exploratory study reported here 364 community-dwelling older adults described their own sex roles using the Bem Sex Role Inventory and were tested with additional measures of mental and physical health and current life situation. Most elderly persons described androgynous roles. Perceived sex roles related to several dimensions of life situation and well-being.
当前性别角色发展的概念表明，在人生的不同阶段，角色从适合性别的极端男性气质和女性气质变化到复杂的双性同体。对先前研究的综述表明，某些角色对个体可能或多或少具有适应性。在本文报道的探索性研究中，364名居住在社区的老年人使用贝姆性别角色量表描述了他们自己的性别角色，并接受了心理健康、身体健康和当前生活状况的额外测量。大多数老年人描述的是双性同体角色。感知到的性别角色与生活状况和幸福感的几个维度相关。
