On the Vague Meaning of “Gender” in Education Research: The Problem, Its Sources, and Recommendations for Practice (2008, unknown): “Of course, it is not an accident that few conceptual definitions clearly distinguish gender from sex or that attempts to operationalize gender do not agree with all theoretical approaches to the construct (e.g., Bem, 1974; Reevy & Maslach, 2001 ).”
Predicting Receptiveness to Advice: Characteristics of the Problem, the Advice-Giver, and the Recipient (2006, background): “Instrumentality is a trait associated with the masculine gender role and is typically higher in men than in women, but it has not been shown to influence support-seeking or evaluations of advice either positively or negatively (MacGeorge, Graves et al, 2004 ; Reevy & Maslach, 2001 ).”
Inteligencia emocional y género: más allá de las diferencias sexuales (2012, unknown): “…que las personas que puntúan alto en dichos rasgos estereotípicamente femeninos de expresividad (es decir, que tienen una identidad de género más expresiva) tienden a procesar emociones de manera más efectiva (Bourne y Maxwell, 2010) y a buscar y obtener más apoyo emocional (Reevy y Maslach, 2001).”
“I've been independent for so damn long!”: Independence, masculinity and aging in a help seeking context (2007, background): “There are stereotypical societal and cultural constructions of masculinity that expect men to behave independently, particularly in relation to health and health care (Hodgetts & Chamberlain, 2002; Lantz, Fullerton, Harshburger, & Sadler, 2001; O'hehir, 1996; Reevy & Maslach, 2001; While, 2002).”
Effects of Salient Multiple Identities on Women's Performance Under Mathematics Stereotype Threat (2005, background): “For feminine women especially ( Reevy & Maslach, 2001 ), being reminded of the emotional support they have available from friends and family may in itself provide a sense of security when they are placed under stereotype threat and must cope with a difficult math test.”
The Relationship Between Perceived Stress and Adolescent Depression: The Roles of Social Support and Gender (2014, background): “Generally, girls receive and give more emotional support in interpersonal relationship than boys, while boys seek and receive more tangible support (Reevy and Maslach 2001).”
Perceived social support and self-esteem in adolescence (2010, background): “Social support can be emotional, instrumental, financial or informational (Reevyl & Maslach, 2001) that people who are involved in supportive social relationships experience benefits in terms of their health, morale, and coping.”
Are (male) leaders feminine enough? Gendered traits of identity as mediators of sex differences in leadership styles (2012, background): “For instance, some studies have shown that males who identify with expressive traits are better able to process emotions (Bourne and Maxwell, 2010), seek and receive emotional support (Reevy and Maslach, 2001) and display cooperative behaviours within the workplace (Gartzia, 2010).”
