We investigated whether male and female faces are discrete categories at the perceptual level. We created artificial gender continua between male and female faces using a 3D-morphing algorithm and used classical categorization and discrimination tasks to investigate categorical perception of gender. In Experiments 1 and 3, 3D morphs were computed between male and female faces. The results of th...

This paper analyzes how discrimination by gender in Chile evolved over the period 1958-1996. The paper takes advantage of a series of household surveys that cover an unusually long time series for a developing country.
