A Cross-Cultural Study of Mexican American, Black American, and White American Women at a Large Urban University.

Zeff, Shirley B.

Hispanic Journal of Behavioral Sciences, v4 n2 p245-61 Jun 1982

Examines comparatively how 279 Mexican American, Black, and White American college freshmen in Houston, Texas (1980) perceive themselves according to masculine, feminine, and androgynous measurements. Finds social class more influential than ethnicity/race in determining sex-role behavior of women; the higher the social class, the more homogeneous the people. (Author/LC)
