Roundtable

“What Makes a ‘Man’ and a ‘Woman’?”: Measuring Essentialist Beliefs about Gonadal Hormones (EBAGHs)

Thursday October 23, 2025 11:00 AM - 11:45 AM ET (15:00 - 15:45 UTC)

Subject Area: Biological Psychology

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.
