| Abstract: |
Alfred Adler's early (1909-1912) thematization of gender roles (Geschlechtsrollen) raises the question of conceptual and empirical bases, as well as of subsequent sponsorship of gender development research. It also raises the wider question of gender role development research avant la lettre, that is, before 1954. Inspired by socialist and feminist debate in 1900s Vienna, Adler projected onto the developing child an already culturally ubiquitous problematization of sex roles. Adler's developmental notion of masculine protest became key in his early international Individual Psychology movement and experimental schooling and child guidance initiatives, especially during the 1920s. Interestingly, G. Stanley Hall independently formulated his own naturalistic version of masculine protest. This first of two parts provides a brief historical appreciation of Adler's early gender role psychology. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
