Describe the nature of gender self-construal as it relates to inter- and intra-group comparisons. Use self-insecurity as the dependent variable of interest

That is, in an experiment, how did within- and between-group comparisons differ on participant self-ratings on this dependent variable?


Answer:
When men and women were asked to compare themselves to members of the other gender group (the intergroup context), they displayed the expected gender difference in rated self-insecurity--women said they were more insecure than did men. But when those same judgments were made in an intragroup group context, i.e., women comparing themselves to other women, men to other men, no differences were found on the dependent variable, self-insecurity.
