Abstract
To study the relationship between the Bem-Spence categorical method of scoring androgyny and a number of continuous methods, Bem's Masculinity and Femininity scores were simulated for 50 studies of 200 subjects each. The continuous methods relate closely to one another and leave between 64% and 71% of the variance in the categorical method unaccounted for. There is little evidence for choosing one method over another. Research is needed to compare the predictions of the median-split method with those of the continuous methods.This publication has 10 references indexed in Scilit:
