Methods
Participants
The study included six participants, three females and three males. The participants age range from 22 to 28. The participants were from a minority ethnic group. Each participant identifies themselves as Hispanic: one Mexican, three Mexican Americans, and two Puerto Rican. They were contacted via email and selected due to their availability of time to participate. All the participants were close friends or family members. They were individuals that I knew from several years and had a close relationship with. That gave me the facility to identify each of my participants as androgynous, masculine, and feminine. My classification was as follows, two females as “feminine”, two males as “masculine”, one male as “androgynous”, …show more content…
The study took place in two different settings given not all participants were available at the same time. The first location was a park on a Saturday during 11:00 am to 2:00 pm where I meet three participants. The second location was a coffee shop on Sunday in the evening at 3:00 pm to 5:00 pm where I meet the rest of the participants. I record each participant gender as female or male and their identity as androgynous, masculine, and feminine before performing the study. I informed each of the participants that the memory task consisted of recalling 12 words. The words would be read aloud from a list and they needed to recall the words from the list. It let know that there was no specific order of recalling the words. And I would write down words recall for …show more content…
Such as finding by Schmitt et Participants that are were identify as gender typed were more like to recall words clustered by gender associated than androgynous participants. However both gender type and androgynous participants recall similar amount of words. Androgynous participants recalled more words by clustered by categorical association. In the study participants identify as gender type as male “masculine” or female “feminine” 1MM, 3 FF, 4FF, and 5 MM which were classify as recalled a greater percentage of words by gender cluster thus have a stronger gender schematic. Participants 3 AF and 5 AM which were identify as androgynous recall words in both groups by gender association and by categorical association. However, they recalled fewer words by gender association. The result for 2MA the first androgynous were 32% of words cluster by gender association compare to 25% of words cluster by categorical association. Likewise the second androgynous participant 6FA, 42% of words were recall by clustered by categorical association and only 34% by gender association. It evidently that participant identify as gender type individual’s had a strong gender schema concept that other. However some participants seem to have stronger gender schema. Given that participant 1MM and 3 FF were able to recall most of the word by gender association that other participants identify as gender schematic. The rationalization
