Replications of two factor analyses of the Bern Sex-role Inventory published in the 1970s were conducted for two samples of college students ( Ns = 362 and 267). Four factors, which were almost identical to those of the previous analyses, were obtained in each sample. One of the factors essentially represented the sex of the respondent. A second factor, representing an expressive, affective orientation, contained loadings of about half of the feminine sex-typed items. The masculine sex-typed items split into two factors. One stressed dominance, aggressiveness, and leadership while the other stressed independence, individuality, and self-sufficiency. These latter factors were interpreted in relation to two masculine orientations suggested by Bakan in 1966 and Parsons and Bales in 1955
