Personality and Sex Role Orientation Among 17–19 Year Old Females in England

Abstract

A sample of 233 female students between the ages of seventeen and nineteen years completed the short-form Revised Eysenck Personality Questionnaire together with the Bern Sex Role Inventory. The data indicate that high scores on the scale of masculinity are associated with high extraversion, high psychoticism and low neuroticism, while high scores on the scale of femininity are associated with high neuroticism and low psychoticism but unrelated to extraversion.
