“…1 The sample contained 81 masculine (22%), 103 feminine (28%), 100 androgynous (27%), and 87 undifferentiated (23%) subjects. This represents about the same distribution that Schmitt and Millard (1988) found in their sample of 387 undergraduate students. This categorization serves as a reliability check on the median split procedure, indicating that the procedure appears to be quite reliable.…”

Mixed results regarding the role of gender in moral reasoning prompted an investigation of an alternative characteristic that may be more influential in the process: sex role orientation. We present an empirical assessment of the relationship between an individual's moral reasoning level and his/her sex role orientation, gender, and several academic factors. Our results indicate that sex role orientation is not related to moral reasoning level. Gender is related to moral reasoning in our study, women reasoning at higher levels than men. We found a positive relationship between education and moral reasoning level, and moral reasoning levels differed across academic institutions. Our results also show business students have lower moral reasoning levels than students in other fields, although this result did not reach statistical significance.

“…A multitude of studies have been conducted to investigate similarities and differences among countries in gender stereotypic traits and to assess the cross-cultural validity and the structure of the BSRI (e.g., Ballard-Reisch & Elton, 1992;BlanchardFields, Suhrer-Roussel, & Hertzog, 1994;Lara-Cantu & Suzan-Reed, 1988;Martin & Ramanaiah, 1988;Schmitt & Millard, 1988;Waters, Waters, & Pincus, 1977;Wong, McCreary, & Duffy, 1990). However, the findings have been mixed.…”

The aim of this study was to examine the masculinity and femininity scales of Bem Sex Role Inventory (BSRI) among Turkish university students. Five hundred thirty-six students (280 men and 256 women) volunteered to complete the short-form of the BSRI and answer demographic questions. In factor analyses, the original factor structure (Bem, 1981) was found both in the men's and women's data. Comparisons of the factor structures with target rotation (Procrustes rotation) and comparison indexes showed no difference between the factor structures found among men and women. The internal consistency of the masculinity and femininity scales was acceptable, and t-tests showed that women scored higher on the femininity scale, and men scored higher on the masculinity scale. There were significant differences between men and women only on two masculinity items, but significant differences were found in 8 (of 10) femininity items.

“…Since Bem validated the BSRI (1974), its validity and reliability have been tested and re-established (Auster and Ohm, 2000;Cramer and Westergren, 1999;Holt andEllis, 1998, Oswald, 2004;Schmitt and Millard, 1988). Due to its strength, we have chosen the BSRI for our research.…”

“…A simple arithmetic computation determines an individualÕs masculine and feminine scores. Then BemÕs median-split method is applied, which is recommended in the BSRI manual (1981) and confirmed by Schmitt and Millard (1988) and Elm et al (2001). It uses the individualÕs two scores to categorize the individual as masculine (high masculine and low feminine scores), feminine (high feminine score and low masculine score), androgynous (high masculine and high feminine scores), or undifferentiated (low masculine and low feminine scores).…”
