Among these may be mentioned intuition, changeableness, and a more sensitive and emotional nature. The mental attitudes behind the feminine "virtues" of tenderness, love of children, consideration, pity, helpfulness, lack of aggressiveness, etc. are also included. In short all of the mental and emotional attitudes connected with an individual feeling himself to be a woman are included here.

The third aspect we may call the "social woman". Here we are concerned not only with the attitudes and relations of the female towards society, i.e., towards other females as well as toward males, but we must also consider the att- itudes and behavioral customs of society toward women.

From this, then, we find that there are actually three different "women" with whom identification may take place. With which aspect of womanliness a young male may develop this identification will, of course, depend on the individ- ual circumstances of his early life. The particular fe- male whom he choses to emulate need not necessarily be his mother. lt may be sister, an aunt, a neighbor, a gover- ness, someone of his own generation or someone older. The particular female or females from whom the identific- ation springs may be of significance to him in any one of the three capacities discussed above.

It is the author's suggestion that the particular aspect of womanliness which impresses him and which he selects will, in a large measure, determine his future development into one of the three behavioral patterns which we are considering.

If the young male becomes impressed with the sexual side of womanhood, it is the woman's role in the sexual act which will be the key to his identification and he will attempt to take the woman's role in the sexual act as far as anatomy and his partner's desires will permit. He therefore, develops the "passive" homosexual pattern. In the type of homosexual pattern we are considering, he chooses not only to act the role sexually but to use many of the feminine wiles of behavior and dress exactly the same way and for the same purpose as a woman would..

If the female object of his youthful identification, and the circumstances under which the identification de-
