Affectionate definition
Affectionate is listed as a feminine trait, while “independent” and “competitive” are both listed as masculine traits (▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ & Borders, 2001). All of the behavioral traits were sorted by Stanford undergraduate students in the 1970s, and have been tested in various studies since then (▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇▇, 2017). ▇▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇ found that the BSRI concepts are “culture bound,” and thus can only reflect American gender stereotypes (1986, p. 39). They also found that both the masculine and feminine traits have “high internal consistency,” which indicates a strong association of the traits with each gender (▇▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇, 1986). ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇▇ (2017) found that the only significant change in trends between 1993 and 2012 was a decline in women’s association with feminine traits, however no significant change occurred between the start of the BSRI and 2012. Women’s association with masculine traits and men’s associations with both masculine and feminine traits did not show any significant change over any part of the time period. Without much significant change in associations, the BSRI can still be used as a basis for gender stereotypes.
