Beliefs about Men: Gender Differences among Colleges Students
Knox, David; Zusman, Marty; McNeely, Andrea
College Student Journal, v38 n4 p633 Dec 2004
Three-hundred-and-twenty six undergraduates at a large south-eastern university completed a confidential anonymous 74-item questionnaire designed to assess beliefs about men, women, and relationships held by university students. This study focused on the data regarding gender differences in beliefs about men. Women were significantly more likely than men to believe that all men cheat on their partners at least once, that a man will not call when he says he will, that men would rather live with a woman than marry her, that men think more about sex than women, that men care more about a woman's appearance, and that men have poorer communication skills than women. Implications and limitations of the data are suggested.
