ABSTRACT
A disposition toward masculinity or toward femininity, in either sex, may be conceived of as a dynamic structure in the personality which, like authoritarianism and impulse expression, is capable of affecting a wide range of behavior. In clinical work a disposition toward masculinity or toward femininity is frequently of crucial importance. Probably most psy choanalysts would agree that every man who goes through psychoanalysis has to deal with his "feminine side" or "feminine impulses"—and every woman with her "masculine impulses." There is much theory and clinical information concerning the ways in which such impulses are differentiated, transformed, manifested, or countered. Yet these phenomena have rarely been the object of quantitative study.
