  • Title: The position of sex-typical words in two-dimensional emotion space.
    Author: Whissell C, Chellew G.
    Journal: Psychol Rep; 1994 Feb; 74(1):3-11. PubMed ID: 8153224.
    Abstract:
    Data from five experiments (total N = 304) were used to examine differences in assignments of sex-typicality to personality-describing words. The several significant differences were interpreted in terms of the location of male-typical and female-typical words in two-dimensional emotion space. Words judged as typical of women were consistently more pleasant and less active than those judged as typical of men. The report includes tables of over 200 sex-typical words.
