Self-regulation of Gendered Behavior in Everyday Life (2010, background): “In an alternative view, Sanchez and Crocker (2005) proposed that gendered standards function like contingencies of self-worth.”
“What do you mean when you say that you are sexually satisfied?” A mixed methods study (2014, background): “While the centrality of gender to sexual satisfaction has been previously explored, researchers have often focused on gender ideals and gender norm conformity (Horne and Bliss, 2009; Sanchez and Crocker, 2005; Sanchez et al., 2012) rather than positive or satisfying aspects of femininity and masculi”
