“…The BSRI was designed to test the degree to which people have incorporated cultural definitions of masculinity and/or femininity into their self-concepts. Researchers have criticized the BSRI for its inclusion of demeaning feminine items (e.g., gullible; Yoder, 2003), lack of theoretical rationale, lack of construct validity, and diminished validity for African American samples specifically (Harris, 1994;Hoffman, 2001;Spence, 1993).…”

This article is based on a partial replication of a previous study in which the Children's Personal Attributes Questionnaire (CPAQ) was administered to a European American sample of children. The sample of the current study included 328 African American adolescents who completed the CPAQ's short form. Psychometric analysis indicated acceptable reliabilities on two of the three subscales, and gender differences were found. A factor analysis yielded three factors, each of which represented a combination of items from the three original subscales. In general, the results closely parallel those reported with European American samples. The findings are discussed in terms of the CPAQ's suitability for an African American adolescent sample.

“…Turkish young adults mainly adhere to Islam and are generally more religious than Christian European majority populations, who are generally less religious (e.g., Gallup International 2012;Pew Research Center 2005). This adherence to Islam may lead to different behaviour in certain life domains, such as in family formation and intermarriage, and (female) labour force participation and career expectations (Harris 1994;Huschek, de Valk, and Liefbroer 2012;Idema and Phalet 2007). On the other hand, cultural distance can be viewed from the perspective of the majority population in terms of acts of discrimination, social exclusion, and negative stereotyping.…”

“…Bem (1979) emphasized the role of culture by defining the purpose of the BSRI to "assess the extent to which the culture's definitions of desirable female and male attributes are reflected in an individual's self-description" (p. 1048). By this definition, it is reasonable to expect that the definition of gender stereotypes will vary among cultures and ethnic groups (Harris, 1994;Landrine, 1985). Williams and Best (1990) found that the gap between men and women on the variance of the gender stereotypes was small in highly developed countries, whereas it was larger among countries in which the difference between men and women in educational achievements was large.…”

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.
