Factor Analysis of Sex-Typed Items from the Bem Sex-Role Inventory
Based on the responses of 118 male and 79 female college students, a factor analysis of the 40 sex-typed items from the Bem Sex-role Inventory and sex of respondent yielded four factors which were almost identical to those reported by Waters, Waters, and Pincus (1977). One of the factors essentially represented the gender of the respondent. A second factor representing an expressive, affective orientation was defined by feminine sex-typed items. …
Relationships between Sex-Role Orientation and Attitudes toward Women as Managers
The relationship between attitudes toward women performing in managerial roles and sex-role orientation was examined by correlating scores on subscales of the Women as Managers Scale with scores derived from the Bern Sex-role Inventory within homogeneous biological sex samples of 117 males and 222 females. Within each sex sample there were modest, but significant, relationships between sex-role orientation and attitudes toward women as managers; …
Factor Analysis of Masculine and Feminine Sex-Typed Items from the Bem Sex-Role Inventory
Based on the responses of 252 (126 male, 126 female) college undergraduates, a factor analysis of the 40 sex-typed items from the Bern Sex-role Inventory and sex of respondent yielded four factors. One of the factors essentially represented the biological sex of the respondent. A second factor, representing an expressive, affective orientation, contained loadings of 14 of the 20 feminine sex-typed items. The other two factors (dominant, aggressiv…
Novelty and Sensation Seeking in Two Academic Training Settings
Subscale scores on the Sensation Seeking Scale (SSS) and the Novelty Experiencing Scale (NES), scores on a social desirability scale and on two ability tests, and academic course grades were obtained for a sample of 275 pre-flight students. Data from 172 college males of the same age range (Waters, 1974) provided comparisons between college and pre-flight students. The preflight students, as compared to college males, scored higher on External Se…
Two Measures of Resultant Achievement Motivation
The Mehrabian and Hermans scales of resultant achievement motivation were correlated with each other and with cumulative grade point average for three samples of lower division college males. In each sample, the two scales were significantly, but not highly, correlated (average r = .31). The Hermans scale was consistently related to grade point average across samples. Significantly more accurate predictions of academic performance were obtained f…
Sex of Respondent, Respondent's Sex-Role Self-Concept, and Responses to the Sensation-Seeking Scale
Sex of respondent and the respondent's self-concept of sex-role, as measured by the Bem (1974) scale, were correlated with scores on subscales of the Sensation-seeking Scale for a sample of 96 female and 96 male college students. Also, sex-role self-concept was correlated with aspects of sensation-seeking within each sex. For the combined sample, sex-role self-concept was significantly more related to scores on the sensation-seeking scales than s…
Protestant Ethic Attitudes Among College Students
The six scales of the Survey of Work Values (Wollack, Goodale, Wijting, and Smith, 1971), the Blood (1969) pro-Protestant Ethic scale, and the Protestant Ethic scale of Mirels and Garrett (1971) were intercorrelated, and each scale was correlated with Rotter's I/E scale, SAT total score, and cumulative grade point average for 170 college students. A factor analysis of the Protestant Ethic scales yielded two factors which were interpreted, on the …
Multi-Dimensional Measures of Novelty Experiencing, Sensation Seeking, and Ability
The four scales of the Novelty-experiencing Scale and the five scales of the Sensation-seeking Scale were administered to male and female college students. With the exception of the general scale of the Sensation-seeking Scale, which correlated substantially with its four remaining scales and one of the Novelty-experiencing scales, the sub-scales generally had only low to moderate rs within each of the scales and between all scales. Significant s…
Comparison of Protesting and Non-Protesting Students
127 protesting and non-protesting college students were compared on 23 variables assessing ability and achievement, family-related factors, biographical, college-related factors, and personal adjustment. When compared with controls, the protest sample did not differ significantly in ability but was lower in high school and college academic achievement; came from higher socio-economic level homes; had a higher proportion of out-of-state and Jewish…
A Comparison of Computer-Simulated Conventional and Branching Tests
In the usual testing situation, each examinee takes all the items, and item sequence is the same for each examinee. It is possible, however, to have sequential or branching tests in which all examinees do not take te same items and the sequence of item presentation for an individual is some function of his performance on previous items; that is, an item answered correctly is followed by a more difficult item, an item answer incorrectly, by a less…
Validity and Likability Ratings for Three Scoring Instructions for a Multiple-Choice Vocabulary Test
Effect of Number of Alternatives and Scoring Instructions on Examinees' Reactions to Multiple-Choice Tests
Reactions of examinees to 2 scoring instructions were evaluated for 2-, 3-, and 5-alternative multiple-choice items. Examinees were more favorable toward the “reward for omitted items” than the “penalty for wrongs” instructions across all numbers of item alternatives
