Document Summary
Jack (1991): women form a concept of self-based close genuine relationships. When a woman attempts to maintain/establish intimate relationships fail, self-esteem drops. Caught between a need for intimacy in a culture that doesn"t reward it. Women will repress part of one"s self for those relationships. To cope with this, women will put other"s needs above their own. Jack developed a 31 item scale to evaluate the concept of self-silencing. Alphas greater than 0. 85 correlate to depression. High scores for sheltered or expectant women. Compared factor structure of 825 uwindsor undergraduate men and women, addressing relationship status (style makes no sense if you are single) Significant sex differences (male greater than female) on all scales except external self-perception. The concept of self-silencing is not applicable to men and women, because each are measured differently. Men only used 3 factors, where women used 4. Men have a tendency to lie about concepts that are not masculine.
