TY - JOUR PY - 1975// TI - The effects of sex and "masculinity" on person- and space-related perception JO - Sex roles A1 - Falbo, Toni SP - 283 EP - 295 VL - 1 IS - 3 N2 - A study was conducted to investigate the influence of both sex and sex role upon the perceptual salience of person- and space-related information. It was found that the salience of person-related information was higher for females than males. High-masculinity males found person-related information less salient than any other combined sex and sex-role group. Most importantly, the salience of person-related information was higher for persons who conformed less to their appropriate sex role than those who strongly conformed to their sex role. No sex or sex-role differences were found in the spatial salience measure.
