Abstract
5 current sex-role measures (the Bem Sex-role Inventory, the Personal Attributes Questionnaire, the Personality Research Form Andro Scale, the Masculinity and Femininity scales of the Adjective Checklist, and a set of socially undesirable sex-related characteristics) were compared for three samples. The scales have often been used interchangeably in the past, as they describe sex-role style in similar conceptual and psychometric terms. Yet some doubt had been raised recently as to the comparability of four of the scales for a college sample. The present study confirmed the limited comparability of the five scales in all samples tested (60 college students, 60 married adults, 60 psychiatric patients). The present analysis indicated that with current item content and classification procedure the measures cannot be used interchangeably.
