Sex Role Stereotypes: Effect on Perceptions of Self and Others and on Personal Adjustment

Deutsch, Connie J.; Gilbert, Lucia A.

Journal of Counseling Psychology, 23, 4, 373-378, Jul 76

For females only, the Bem Sex Role Inventory (BSRI) tests of 128 college students showed: (1) dissimilar concepts of self and others, ranking least-to-most sex typed in the order predicted; (2) inaccurate perceptions of the other sex's ideal; and (3) association of sex typing with poor adjustment. Results are discussed. (Author)
