Comparative Factor Analyses of the Personal Attributes Questionnaire and the Bem Sex-Role Inventory.

Antill, John K.; Cunningham, John D.

Social Behavior and Personality, v10 n2 p163-72 1982

Compared the Personal Attributes Questionnaire (PAQ) and the Bem Sex Role Inventory (BSRI) as measures of androgyny. Results showed that femininty (Concern for Others) and masculinity (Dominance) accounted for most of the variance, but for PAQ, clusters of male- and female-valued items (i.e., Extroversion and Insecurity) formed subsidiary factors.
