| Sumario: | The multidisciplinary approach of gender has been stalled by a lack of precision and conceptual clarity, including category errors as they are known from a rylean perspective, taking concepts that belongs to a given scope (i.e. psychology) trying to extrapolate them to analyze a phenomena that belongs to another area of knowledge (i.e. sociology). We argue in favor of clarity defining the different facets of the study of gender. An interbehavioral approach emphasizes individual adjustment to the conventions of gender, suggesting that the analysis of the interaction between gender and risk-taking behaviors related to health should involve identifying specific situational elements and relationships: macrocontingencies (i.e. conventions, values, beliefs) and microcontingencies (i.e. specific situation, people, dispositional factors). We conclude that the implementation of the analysis proposed here will facilitate the detection of risk-taking behaviors and the development of effective strategies for their prevention. |
