The Relationship

An examination of sex-role stereotyping and its relation to sex-role norms was undertaken in this experiment. Subjects were 48 second and third graders and 48 college freshmen who each rated descriptions of sex-stereotypical behavior and sex-role reversals. Both groups also rated sex-typed “male,” “female,” and “neutral” occupations and indicated if the mother was employed. Results indicated that children stereotyped in behavioral descriptions and occupational choices to a greater extent than did college students. Children whose mothers were employed were more stereotyped in occupational choices than children with non-working mothers. College students evidenced a very low rate of stereotyping in behavioral descriptions which indicated that the relationship between sex-role stereotypes and sex-role norms was negligible for college students but was evident for children.

The Relationship

Research and theoretical notions on the relationship between mental health and androgyny have yielded contradictory statements. In the present study 42 practicing psychotherapists were asked to rate the mentally healthy person (sex unspecified), man, and woman on the Bem Sex-role Inventory. Analysis showed that masculine was the preferred category for the person, with androgynous more often used to describe the man and undifferentiated, the woman. Male and female ratees differed significantly in masculinity and femininity in the expected direction with the person midway between. Sex-role stereotyping remains prevalent among mental health professionals.

The Relationship

Previous research has indicated that sex-role preferences of boys were more clearly masculine than girls' preferences were feminine. In order to provide a partial explanation of this phenomenon, the responses of 107 college students to descriptions of cross-sex-role behavior of young boys and girls were investigated. Ss rated 10 one-sentence descriptions of cross-sex-role behavior on an approval-disapproval dimension. Both male and female Ss indicated greater disapproval of cross-sex-role behavior of boys than of girls. The relationship of these findings to previous research was discussed.

The Relationship

The relationship between birth order, family size, and assertiveness was investigated for 140 college students. No significant differences on assertiveness among the males categorized for birth order and family size were found. Female firstborns and females from families with 3 or fewer siblings were significantly higher in assertiveness scores than laterborn females and females from larger families. Sex-role identification stressing assertiveness was used to explain lack of differences among males. The newer emphasis on sex roles stressing achievement and assertive behavior was a possible explanation for differences among females related to ordinal position and family size.

The Relationship

The relationship between perceived parenting styles and gender role identity was examined in college students. 230 undergraduate students (48 men, 182 women; 18–23 years old) responded to the Parental Authority Questionnaire (PAQ) and the Bern Sex-Role Inventory (BSRI). The hypothesis was that parenting styles (authoritarian, authoritative, and permissive for both fathers and mothers) would be significantly associated with gender role identity (undifferentiated, feminine, masculine, and androgynous) of college students, specifically whether authoritative parenting styles associated with androgyny. To account for differences in sex on gender role identity or parenting styles, sex was included as a factor. The pattern of the difference in identity groups was similar for males and females. There were significant differences in parenting styles between gender role groups. Maternal and paternal authoritativeness correlated with participants' femininity, and for both parents, the relationship was observed to be stronger in males than females; paternal authoritativeness was significantly associated with androgyny. Future research based on these results should investigate how the findings relate to children's psychological well-being and behavioral outcomes.

The Relationship

This paper deals with the relationship between some elements of self-concept (general self-esteem and locus of control) and going in for sport in adolescence. The relationship between going in for sport and variables of self-concept (general self-esteem and external locus of control) was investigated in a sample of 300 adolescent boys and girls (150 sportsmen and 150 non-sportsmen). Modification of the Rosenberg?s General self-esteem scale and Bezinovic-Savcic?s Scale of externality were used to measure variables of self-concept. The significant positive correlation between variables of going in for sport and general selfesteem, as well as negative ones between variables of going in for sport and external locus of control were found in the whole sample of subjects and in the sample of boys, but not of girls. The sex role stereotypes and greater importance that the culture puts on success in sport for boys have contributed to such results. The sex differences in correlations between variables of self-concept and going in for sport suggest that going in for sport influences general self-esteem and locus of control in adolescents through social feedback and social evaluation of sport achievement and physical fitness. .

The Relationship

Based on Erikson's theory of ego development, this study investigated the relationship between ego identity achievement among female college students and their feelings toward and perceptions of their parents. The analysis showed that identity achievers viewed their mothers rather negatively and their fathers somewhat more positively, suggesting that contemporary female college students may find it necessary to break “same-sex identification” bonds in order to learn the appropriate female sex role.
