Abstract
One explicit self-report scale and four implicit tests which were based on the Implicit Association Test were used to measure the gender self-concept in the study. The result showed: (1) Implicit Association Test is valid, sensitive to the implicit gender self-concept. (2) gender self-concept shows significant gender difference on implicit measures, but on most explicit measures it does not show significant gender difference except explicit femininity measure. (3) gender self-concept is a model of dual components which involves an implicit gender self-concept and an explicit gender self-concept. The former is an integrated structure, while the latter consists of two dimensions: one is positive male trait vs. negative female trait, the other is positive female trait vs. negative male trait, and the two are uncorrelated.
