Keyword: Gender

Abstract: We created a unidimensional measure of essentialist beliefs about gonadal hormones (EBAGHs). Higher EBAGH scorers claimed superior sex-congruent testosterone and estrogen levels relative to their same-sex peers irrespective of the levels’ perceived healthiness, and EBAGH endorsement was linked to the self-reported influence of mainstream entertainment and social media.
