Returning women were slightly more egalitarian on attitudes toward sex-specific activities and the women's movement. They were significantly more traditional in attitudes toward fundamental differences between sex roles. Results suggest that women returning to school enhance support for feminist beliefs.

Interviews with university women faculty suggest that token women, nontoken women, and those whose departments had mixed patterns did not differ in their accuracy in recognizing status differentials between the genders. (Author/BEF)

Females were more influenced by female models in their choice of career than were males. No effect of sex-role attitude appeared. The particular importance of female models for female students was discussed. (Author)

Result of this study indicated that reentry women were more self-motivated, with higher educational goals, and higher grade point averages. Reentry women made less use of student services. (Author)

All treatment combinations successfully reduced both somatic and cognitive anxiety symptoms. The grade point average of experimental subjects was significantly higher than that of no-treatment controls. Findings suggest that early intervention for academic anxiety was beneficial. (Author)

Isolates active ingredients of the coping-skills component: sensory discriminative (SD), motivational affective (MA), and cognitive evaluative (CE) skills. Checks on independent variable manipulation reveal that SD skills are learned and employed, MA skills are already known but refined, and CE skills are largely ignored. (Author)

Examined the dimensionality of the Mathematics Anxiety Rating Scale. Factors were identified and labeled as Mathematics Text Anxiety and Numerical Anxiety. Factor-derived scales were developed and correlated with five specific anxiety scales and an arithmetic test. (Author)

Counselor ratings were not influenced by counselor gender or subject sex role. Counselor sex role affected the ratings, with both androgynous and feminine counselors rated higher than the masculine counselor. Incongruent androgynous and undifferentiated subjects were more willing to see androgynous and feminine sex-typed counselors. (Author)

Consists of three articles and two discussions that were first presented at the 1977 meeting of American Psychological Association, (Washington, D.C.), for the Symposium: Applications of Androgyny to the Theory and Practice of Psychotherapy. The papers deal with the definition of androgyny, its use in psychotherapy, and its effect on mental…

The present study addressed the question of whether persons' implicit personality theories include the notion that the possession of masculine and feminine characteristics tend to preclude each other so that the two clusters of attributes are perceived to be negatively correlated. The results confirm the hypothesis. (Author)

This paper first reviews three different theoretical constructs concerning the psychological significance of sex-role-related characteristics in personality functioning: sex role identity, androgyny, and sex role transcendence. A new conceptual analysis concerning sex-typing, sex role strain analysis, is presented. Implications of this analysis…

A new operationalization of androgyny, the median split technique, differs from the original method in the distribution of scores produced and in the results obtained in two recent studies. The implications of these differences are discussed and future directions for the measurement of psychological androgyny are investigated. (Author)

Three groups of women--wives with no outside employment, wives employed in non-professional occupations, and wives employed in professional occupations--were administered the Derived Identity Questionnaire and the Bem Sex Role Inventory. The two working groups revealed less "derived identity" than did the non-employed group. (Author)

With respect to each of the seven decision-task variables, there was no significant difference between the two groups (of 100 men and 100 women executives). The multiple regression analysis did not show sex of executives as a factor influencing confidence, dogmatism, and decision latency as related to decision accuracy. (Author/IRT)

This study examined differences between 232 middle- and lower-class pre- and postmenarcheal adolescents and differences across four developmental levels for the postmenarcheal group. Postmenarcheal adolescents had more problems, but were higher in self-concept, supporting the view that menarche onset is a positive event for most females.…
