Silencing the Self and Sex as Predictors of Achievement Motivation
This study was conducted to provide further validation for the Silencing the Self Scale and to assess the relationship between scores on self-silencing, sex, and achievement motivation. In addition the present study tested whether sex would moderate the relationship between self-silencing and achievement motivation. For the sample of 113 community college participants, 85 women and 28 men, a significant relationship between scores on self-silenci…
Technology for Sex Selection
Research focusing on potential users of technology for sex selection and their preference for firstborn sons is reviewed in light of technological advances. Further study of personality characteristics of users is proposed as well as identification of interpersonal dynamics occurring within a couple having divergent preferences for sex of offspring
Silencing The Self And Depression Among Women
The purpose of this study was to assess the validity and provide normative data for the Silencing the Self Scale, a newly devised instrument for measuring cognitive schemas hypothesized to be related to depression in women. The study also tested the hypothesis that race would moderate the relationship between silencing the self and depression. The sample consisted of 80 women: 40 African Americans and 40 Caucasians. Controlling for income and soc…
Development of a Paper-and-Pencil Measure of Conformity
This study describes initial work in developing a standardized paper-and-pencil measure of conformity. Two of the four ambiguous tasks successfully discriminated 89 subjects who were exposed to others' estimates and 89 who were not
Interests and Self-Efficacy as Predictors of Mathematics/Science-Based Career Choice
This study examined the relationship of 125 college women's mathematical self-efficacy and interest in mathematics/science-based careers to the consideration of pursuing such careers. A stepwise multiple regression analysis indicated that interest alone was a significant predictor of career choice
Sex selection technology utilization
A survey of 242 undergraduates assessed attitudes toward use of sex selection technology and the choice of sex of first- and second-born offspring among potential users. Of our sample, 31 per cent endorsed use of sex selection technology, with the small subsample of nonwhites more accepting of utilization than were whites. There was a significant preference for first-born sons among all potential users, but nonwhites indicated a stronger preferen…
Is Dissonance a Factor in the Relationship between Sex-Role Orientation and Attitudes towards Women's Roles
Research has consistently indicated a positive relationship between a feminine sex-role and anxiety, and there have been suggestions that liberal attitudes towards women are also predictive of anxiety. The present study asked if these two variables operated independently or in conjunction with each other. It was proposed that perhaps a lack of congruency between one's sex-role and one's attitude toward women was more closely related to anxiety th…
Sex-role stereotypes and clinical judgments of mental health
Preselection of Child's Sex
A survey of 236 undergraduates was conducted to assess preference for sex of firstborn. Respondents also indicated their support for the women's movement and their willingness to use sex-selection techniques when these become available. Results confirm earlier findings of significant preference for boys by both female and male college students, although almost half of all respondents indicated they had no preference. There was no relationship bet…
Impact of Maternal Employment on Daughters' Sex-Role Orientation and Fear of Success
Maternal employment was related to scores on the Bem Sex-role Inventory as well as to fear of success in a sample of 90 high school females. Data indicated that the daughters of working mothers were significantly more androgynous and demonstrated less fear of success than did the daughters of non-working mothers. Results are discussed in terms of the modeling of a broad spectrum of sex-role behaviors by the employed mothers that are positively re…
