Abstract

The present study examined the mediating effects of ambivalent sexism (hostile and benevolent) in the relationship between sex role orientation (masculinity and femininity) and gender stereotypes (dominance and assertiveness) in college students. The variables were measured using the Bem Sex Role Inventory (BSRI), the Ambivalent Sexism Inventory (ASI), and the Attitudes toward Gender Stereotypes in Romantic Relationships Scale (AGSRRS). These inventories were administered to 250 undergraduate students at Istanbul University in Istanbul and Suleyman Demirel University in Isparta, Turkey. Results indicate that benevolent sexism mediates the relationship between hostile sexism and male dominance. Benevolent sexism also mediates femininity and male dominance, as well as femininity and male assertiveness. Hostile sexism was mediated only between the masculine personality trait and benevolent sexism. The present findings expand the literature on sex role orientation by revealing evidence that masculine and feminine individuals experience ambivalent sexism distinctively. The results are discussed in terms of the assumptions of sex role orientation, ambivalent sexism, and gender stereotypes.

矛盾的性别歧视作为浪漫关系中性别角色取向和性别刻板印象的中介:在土耳其的研究

摘要本研究考察了矛盾性别歧视(敌意和善意)在大学生性别角色取向(男性化和女性化)与性别刻板印象(支配性和自信性)之间的中介作用。采用本姆性别角色量表(BSRI)、矛盾性别歧视量表(ASI)和恋爱关系中性别刻板印象态度量表(AGSRRS)对变量进行测量。对伊斯坦布尔伊斯坦布尔大学和土耳其伊斯帕塔苏莱曼德米雷尔大学的250名本科生进行了问卷调查。结果表明，善意性别歧视在敌意性别歧视与男性支配的关系中起中介作用。善意的性别歧视也调解了女性气质和男性主导，以及女性气质和男性自信。敌意性别歧视仅在男性人格特质与善意性别歧视之间中介。本研究扩充了性别角色取向的研究文献，揭示了男性和女性个体不同的矛盾性别歧视。研究结果从性别角色取向假设、矛盾性别歧视假设和性别刻板印象假设三个方面进行了讨论。
