Two studies assessed the relation between gender role and executive function. In Study One (N=234) analyses indicated that among college students executive function, assessed by the Coolidge and Griego scale, is related to masculine gender-role classification, measured by the Bem Sex-role Inventory. This relationship remained significant,when biological sex was controlled. Further, factor analysis of the Bem Sex-role Inventory identified six components, three related to executive function. Two of these scales were associated with masculine characteristics, and the third was associated with the denial of several feminine items, Study Two (N=55) further assessed the relationship among undergraduates through additional measures of executive functions and mood, in addition to the Bern Sex-role Inventory. In this study, executive functioning, as measured by the Coolidge and Griego scale, vas again generally related to masculinity, Psychological well-being,vas not related to gender identity or executive functioning.
