Sex-Role Conflicts and Personal Adjustment: A Study of British Adolescents.

Keyes, Susan; Coleman, John

Journal of Youth and Adolescence, v12 n6 p443-59 Dec 1983

A study of British adolescents was conducted. Though no sex differences were found for personal adjustment, females experienced more conflict over sex-role issues. Subjects who experienced the highest levels of sex-role conflict also experienced more problems in personal adjustment when they perceived themselves as deficient in "masculine" attributes.
