- Summary:
-
A replication of two previous studies, this study examined the effect of both sex and ethnicity on attitudes toward women, self-reported masculinity-femininity, and masculine-feminine stereotypic attitudes. The Attitudes Toward Women Scale (AWS) and the Personal Attributes Questionnaire (PAQ) were administered to 367 college students (112 Anglos, 32 Blacks, and 221 Chicanos) during the Fall 1976 semester. The PAQ was administered twice under two different instructional conditions. In the first condition, the students rated self-reported masculinity-femininity; and in the second condition, the students reported typical male-female college student characteristics. Data were analyzed by computing tests of significance (t-test and F-ratio) and step-wise multiple regression analysis. Data analysis compared responses of 156 male and 211 female members of the three ethnic groups. Findings included: sex and ethnicity were clearly related to attitudes toward women and masculine-feminine stereotypic attitudes; sex was the single, most influential variable on the two scales; males reported a more traditional, conservative attitude toward women and women's roles; Blacks held a more traditional view of women and their roles; Chicanos had a higher self perception than Blacks; both males and females reported a highly conservative and traditional role for men; and females had a more liberal attitude toward women than the males.
