Abstract

To study two aspects of masculinity-femininity in personality, i.e., mother-father and womanman, 65 middle school students, 150 high school students and 219 university students were asked to rate the desirability for them of each item of a 45-item questionnaire, which described varied characteristics of these two aspects. Neither mother-father scale nor woman-man scale was a single bipolar dimension. Mother-father scale was rated to be more desirable than womanman scale by both male and female subjects. Female subjects seemed to have some conflicts and difficulties in the formation of these two aspects in masculinity and femininity.
