    "title": "Assessing Two Dimensions of Gender Essentialism in Monolingual and Bilingual\nAdults",
    "subtitle": null,
    "abstract": "Psychological essentialism is the belief that members of a category share deep, underlying commonalities. Previous\nevidence suggests that essentialism is stronger for masculine than feminine properties and more evident in monolingual than\nbilingual children. Here, we investigated essentialism of gender by monolingual and bilingual adults, focusing on two distinct\ndimensions of essentialism: naturalness (regarding categories as natural kinds) and entitativity (regarding categories as homogeneous\ngroups). Participants indicated their agreement with statements assessing beliefs about men and women on these two\ndimensions. The results replicated previous work showing that men are essentialized more than women, but revealed that this\neffect may be specific to the entitativity dimension. We also found that, compared to monolinguals, bilinguals were less likely\nto essentialize gender in terms of naturalness. Our findings converge with previous research highlighting the bidimensionality\nof essentialism and suggest that early effects of language experience on essentialist beliefs may persist into adulthood.",
