In comparing two articles which attempt to account for "sex discrimination" (Glick et al., 1988) and "gender recognition" (Rabow & Wolfinger, 1997), I will be focusing here on the ways psychological research has developed its own conceptual operationalization for identity categories. In other words, how has gender-based research responded to the proliferation of identity categories which have emerged in the past ten years (e.g., queer identify), and how is the category of gender being represented in-relation to sex? 5 pgs. 11 f/c. 3b.
