Measuring Gender Segregation: Why It Matters How We Ask

Poster Session IV

Keyword: Gender

Abstract: We investigated gender differences in the prevalence of gender segregation across three measures. There were 343 participants (58.1% females, Mage = 19.96). A significant interaction between measurement type and gender indicated that men reported more gender segregation than women in actual peer interactions, but not in ideal interactions or nominations.
