Examples of gender binary in the following topics:
-
- Gender identity typically falls on a gender binary—individuals are expected to exclusively identify either as male or female.
- However, some individuals believe that this binary model is illegitimate and identify as a third, or mixed, gender.
- Gender identities, and the malleability of the gender binary, vary across cultures.
- The hijra form a third gender, although they do not enjoy the same acceptance and respect as individuals who identify along the gender binary.
- The xanith form an accepted third gender in Oman, a society that also holds a gender binary as a social norm.
-
- Gender is included in this process; individuals are taught how to socially behave in accordance with their assigned gender, which is assigned at birth based on their biological sex (for instance, male babies are given the gender of "boy", while female babies are given the gender of "girl").
- Gender stereotypes can be a result of gender socialization.
- In Western contexts, gender socialization operates as a binary, or a concept that is exclusively comprised of two parts.
- However, some individuals do not feel that they fall into the gender binary and they choose to question or challenge the male-masculine / female-feminine binary.
- Gender fluidity also shows how gender norms are learned and either accepted or rejected by the socialized individual.
-
- Social constructivists propose that there is no inherent truth to gender; it is constructed by social expectations and gender performance.
- This is especially true with regards to categories of male and female, which are viewed typically as binary and opposite.
- Social constructionism seeks to blur the binary and muddle these two categories, which are so frequently presumed to be essential.
- The repetitious performances of "male" and "female" in accordance with social norms reifies the categories, creating the appearance of a naturalized and essential binary.
- Gender is maintained as a category through socially constructed displays of gender.
-
- Peer groups can serve as a venue for teaching gender roles, especially if conventional gender social norms are strongly held.
- Division of labor creates gender roles, which in turn lead to gendered social behavior.
- Peer groups can serve as a venue for teaching members gender roles.
- If a peer group strongly holds to a conventional gender social norm, members will behave in ways predicted by their gender roles, but if there is not a unanimous peer agreement, gender roles do not correlate with behavior.
- These gender differences are also representative of many stereotypical gender roles within these same-gendered groups.
-
- Nevertheless, Kinsey's Scale is effectively a segmented version of the hetero/homosexual binary, not allowing for other interpretations of sexuality.
- In this way, Kinsey's report is of its particular cultural and historical moment, in that it conceives of American sexuality as only occurring along this binary.
-
- That is, either an actor was, or wasn't present, and our incidence matrix is binary.
- This is because the various dimensional methods operate on similarity/distance matrices, and measures like correlations (as used in two-mode factor analysis) can be misleading with binary data.
- Even correspondence analysis, which is more friendly to binary data, can be troublesome when data are sparse.
- Block modeling works directly on the binary incidence matrix by trying to permute rows and columns to fit, as closely as possible, idealized images.
-
- In a given society, sexual beliefs, values, and attitudes reflect the accepted norms of that society, and individual feelings and opinions are largely bypassed in the assignment of gender and gender roles.
- Gender-related intersections and the crossing of defined gender boundaries are generally unaccounted for in socially constructed notions of gender.
- Gender, and especially the role of women, is generally regarded as critical to international development.
- Development efforts therefore address issues of gender equality and emphasize the participation of women; they also incorporate an understanding of the different gender-based roles and expectations within a particular community.
- Examine the role gender plays in health care and healthy lifestyles, especially for women

- "The End of Gender?
- " - This is an article that discusses some recent attempts to illustrate how gender is at least partially socially constructed.
-
- Suppose two persons have the same gender.
- A network analyst might, instead, say "these two persons share the relation of having the same gender. "
- These approaches produce the same result for binary data, but different results for valued data.
- Let's look at the binary case first.
- Donations of two donors to five political campaigns (binary data)
-
- Suppose the attribute "gender" had been entered into a data set using the values "1" and "2," and we wanted to change the attribute to be "Female" coded as "0" and "1. " Or, suppose that we had recorded the strength of ties between companies by counting the number of members of boards of directors that they had in common.
- Transform>Dichotomize is a tool that is useful for turning valued data into binary data.
- Many of the tools of social network analysis were developed for use with binary data only, and give misleading results (or none at all!
- Many of the tools in UCINET that are designed for binary data will arbitrarily dichotomize interval or ordinal data in ways that might not be appropriate for your problem.
- So, if your data are valued, but the tool you want to use requires binary data, you can turn your data into zero-one form by selecting a cut-off value (you will also have to select a "cut-off operator" and decide what to do with the diagonal.
