Abstract

The research community acknowledges that in many countries and cultures there is greater recognition of the diversity of genders with which people identify. In this paper we define and discuss the categories of “sex”, “gender” and related categories and how research participants might identify themselves within these categories. We discuss methods researchers use to classify participants. We examine in depth the principal method the research community uses, namely “asking questions”, but we also cover techniques based on observation. We evaluate the possible formats of questions – the introductory question posed, the response options, and, where appropriate, offer suggestions. We note the implications for international research, especially in countries where diversity and associated inclusivity are not yet recognised. The need for research in different cultures is recommended. We note the consequences and implications of adopting or not adopting questions that recognise diversity.
性别问题:国际研究中的性别分类
研究界承认,在许多国家和文化中,人们更加认识到性别的多样性。在本文中,我们定义并讨论了“性”、“性别”和相关类别的类别,以及研究参与者如何在这些类别中识别自己。我们讨论了研究人员对参与者进行分类的方法。我们深入研究了研究界使用的主要方法,即“提问”,但我们也涵盖了基于观察的技术。我们评估问题的可能形式——提出的介绍性问题、回答选项,并在适当的情况下提出建议。我们注意到这对国际研究的影响,特别是在多样性和相关包容性尚未得到承认的国家。建议在不同文化中进行研究。我们注意到采用或不采用承认多样性的问题的后果和影响。
