Stereotypes of Working Women: Fact or Fiction.

Abstract

A sample of 190 working women and men were asked to describe themselves in relation to 68 personality traits from the Broverman Sex-Role Questionnaire and the Bem Sex Role Inventory. It previously had been shown that the typical working man and woman are differentially described on these traits by both male and female subjects. However, only 14 of the items showed corresponding significant differences in the present study. It is concluded that, for the most part, stereotypes of working women and men are not paralleled by self-reported sex differences. (Author)
