El objetivo de este estudio fue adaptar y validar para nuestra zona el Inventario de Sexismo Ambivalente ASI (Glick & Fiske, 1996). Este inventario está constituido por 22 ítems distribuidos en dos dimensiones: sexismo hostil y sexismo benévolo. La muestra quedó constituida por 220 participantes de ambos sexos, todos ellos estudiantes de las carreras de psicología, periodismo, economía e ingeniería. El ASI muestra ser confiable y válido, y nos informa de una alta correlación con una serie de variables sociodemográficas y psicosociales. Respecto del perfil de sexismo, los hombres muestran mayores índices de sexismo tanto benévolo como hostil que las mujeres, aunque los niveles para estassobre todo en el de tipo benévolo-son bastante elevados. Se discuten estos resultados a la luz de las teorías sobre prejuicio y estereotipos de género.
