      It’s not like a few minutes would make a difference ;p I’m writing about relationship between sex role orientation, and desired mata-perception of agency and communion in romantic relationships.

      –Sex role orientation is about what adjectives do you use to describe yourself, and are they typically used by males or females in your culture. –Desired meta-perception in relationship is how you would like to be perceived by your partner, e.g. ‘I wish my partner though I am trustworthy’. –Finally, agency and communion are traits describing how one functions socially. Agency means orientation towards achieving one’s goals. Ambitious, active, confident → those describe highly agentic people. Communion is about supporting others in achieving their goals. It’s about being helpful, understanding, and supportive.

      As of now, studies have determined that sex role orientation, self-described agency and communion, as well as their actual meta-percepction (meta-perception in the time of asking) are connected. The desired meta-perception is not really explored. That is, until I finish my study.
