Abstract

243 male and 367 female college students were administered the Bern Sex-role Inventory and research instruments designed to measure the student's level of identification with parents, parental task distribution in the subject's family, the subject's mother's participation in the labor force, and the subject's self-concept characteristics, plans for forming a family, and social and political attitudes. The findings indicated that level of identification of males with their mothers was positively related to their femininity while for females mother's participation in the labor force had a positive effect on masculinity. Furthermore, sex-role traits were significantly related to self-concept factors and plans for formation of a family of both the males and females and to the social and political attitudes of males.
