Covert incest. The term covert incest (also known as emotional incest or psychic incest) is used by some mental health professionals to describe a relationship between parents and children that is sexualized and expects a child to fulfill adult emotional roles, though without actual incest.
Proponents of the concept describe the relationships as harmful and one-sided, and similar to a relationship between adult sexual partners, but without the type of physical contact that would be considered child sexual abuse. Its effects are described as similar to, though less severe than, that of actual incest. The concept has been criticized as an overly broad set of criteria that excessively expands the definition of child sexual abuse.
Description[edit] Criticisms[edit] Critics of covert incest have claimed that the concept dramatically loosens the definition of incest, making child abuse seem more prevalent than it actually is.[11][15][16] See also[edit] References[edit] ^ Jump up to: a b c Jacobson M (2001). Why You Never Truly Leave High School. Throughout high school, my friend Kenji had never once spoken to the Glassmans.
They were a popular, football-playing, preposterously handsome set of identical twins (every high school must have its Winklevii). Kenji was a closeted, half-Japanese orchestra nerd who kept mainly to himself and graduated first in our class. Yet last fall, as our 25th high-school reunion was winding down, Kenji grabbed Josh Glassman by his triceps—still Popeye spinach cans, and the subject of much Facebook discussion afterward—and asked where the after-party was.

Bem Sex-Role Inventory. The Bem Sex-Role Inventory (BSRI) is a measure of masculinity-femininity and gender roles.
It assesses how people identify themselves psychologically. Bem's goal of the BSRI was to examine psychological androgyny and provide empirical evidence to show the advantage of a shared masculine and feminine personality versus a sex-typed categorization.[1] The test is formatted with 60 different personality traits which participants rate themselves based on a 7 point Likert scale. Traits are evenly dispersed, 20 masculine, 20 feminine, and 20 filler traits thought to be gender neutral.[2] All traits in the BSRI are positively valued personality aspects.[3] Numerous past studies have found that gender categorizations are correlated with many stereotypical gendered behaviors.[2] History[edit]
