Dispelling a Myth: That Stereotypic Attitudes Influence Evaluations of Women as Administrators in Higher Education.

Andruskiw, Olga; Howes, Nancy J.

Journal of Higher Education, v51 n5 p475-96 Sep-Oct 1980

A study of women and men in higher education administration revealed more liberal attitudes towards sex characteristics and sex-role images. Sex was not a significant factor in evaluations of women and men as administrators. Individuals with liberal attitudes were more likely to evaluate men and women equally.
