Can assess/measure gender continua; cluster by sex. Men tend to be apple-shaped (fat in abdomen) as you grow older. Women tend to be pear-shaped (fat in hips) for birth. Attached in 6 places (wrist, elbows, knees, shoulders, etc. ) For static displays: 46% accuracy (less than chance) Female walker #1: butch ~60% thought she was male. Experiment 1 showed that there was a difference between sexes in speed of arm-swing. Speed and arm swing are positively correlated. 5 types: normal, hands in pockets, hands at sides (without stiffening upper body), larger than usual, exaggerated so forearm horizontal. Increase 8 & 16 strides/min or decrease same. Speed didn"t affect men but helped identify women. Suggests that speech helps distinguish between men/women. Upper body more useful than lower body. 25 bodies, 5 whr x 5 level of sway/swagger. 5 bodies = mid-value whr x 5 levels of sway/swagger. 2 conditions: sex-specific (ps told all m or f, sex-unspecific (judge sex)
