COSTA, Angelo Brandelli; NARDI, Henrique Caetano    KOLLER, Silvia Helena. Inequalities maintenance in the brazilian psychology gender assessment. []. , 25, 1, pp.97-115. ISSN 1413-389X.  https://doi.org/10.9788/TP2017.1-06.

From the critical analysis of the Masculinity and Femininity scale (M) of the Brazilian version of Comrey Personality Scale (CPS), the aim of this study is to recover the historical treatment that feminist psychology gave to the ideas of sex and gender and its implications. It also aims to point to a self-designated, non essentialist, pluralistic and non pathological conception of gender. Finally, aims to analyze how the CPS is maintained as valid psychological measure in the Brazilian context in parallel, paradoxically, with the defense of gender equality. The use of CPS in Brazil seems to be related to the fact that, in this context, women's studies in social psychology and psychological assessment were consolidated with few interfaces and with distinct epistemological foundations. We conclude by pointing out that the psychological practices, with emphasis on gender assessment, must be reviewed in the light of contemporary gender studies and feminist psychology.
