Abstract
This paper reviews whether social dimensions in gender conformity studies are preserved or followed a similar pattern like other so-called ‘’social concepts’’. This is achieved by analysing the methodology and theoretical concepts adopted by researchers as well as providing alternatives with respect to arguments Greenwood (2004) brought regarding the historical abandonment of social dimensions in social psychology. Through the analysis of five primary sources addressing gender conformity within social psychology literature, it becomes apparent that the arguments brought by Greenwood were confirmed. Current methodology adopted to study gender conformity within this literature is mainly limited to the study of the individual’s experience rather than the study of phenomenon that is representative of the membership of a social group. However, it was revealed that there are exceptions where some studies were better able to represent the social dimensions by the use of different techniques. Therefore, the study of gender conformity within the social psychology literature mainly emphasised individual orientation without totally abandoning the study of social dimensions. Finally, recognising the limited literature included in this thesis, more research is required on gender conformity and other social phenomenons to better understand whether social dimensions are preserved in social psychology studies. Keywords: Gender conformity, Gender non-conformity, social psychology
