AB - This study investigated the effects of congruence between gender-related words and the speaker's gender. Specifically, we aimed to examine whether lexical access would be facilitated when the gender associated with words match the gender of the speaker uttering the words. To this end, two studies were conducted. In Study 1, subjective usage frequency and stereotypes of 242 potential gender-biased words (113 female words, 129 male words) were measured by a total of 15 participants (8 females, 7 males). The results revealed gender stereotypes, indicating that both male and female participants believed certain words would be used more frequently by a particular gender. Based on the stereotypes identified in Study 1, gender-stereotyped words (36 male stereotype words, 36 female stereotype words) and 36 neutral words were selected as experimental stimuli for Study 2, where a lexical decision task was conducted with 20 participants. The results showed no word-speaker congruence effects in reaction times and accuracy. These findings, particularly the absence of congruence effects are discussed in detail in the main text, along with suggestions for further research.
