Abstract
Study explored adult perceptions of gender, masculinity and femininity of urban adolescents based on stress narratives. Results reveal adults make gender assignment errors based on type of stress narrative read. Male and female adolescents were more likely to be misidentified if personal stress stories were external rather than interpersonal.
