Why is it important?
First, validating a new scale for measuring gender perception in intergroup relations; and second, calling for creating and validating new measures, which can quantify well known demographic variables, e.g. race, sexuality, and class, as perception, construction, and performance, rather than identity.
Perspectives
These findings pose the possibility for helping to alleviate conflict and reduce human rights violations through intervention activities designed towards moderating gender perceptions, constructions, and stereotypes.
