“…In addition, the results from the BSRI should be interpreted with caution, since perceiving oneself as high in stereotypically masculine traits does not always imply that one has a 'masculine identity,' nor does a self-perception high in stereotypically feminine traits necessarily imply having a 'feminine identity' (Glick et al, 2015). For this reason, future studies could use specific instruments designed to measure masculine and feminine identities (e.g., The Masculine and Feminine Self-Disclosure Scale, Snell, 2013). In addition, in our study social desirability seems to have a floor effect; that is, responses are mostly socially desirable, with a low variance, which may be influencing the significance of the interactions.…”

Understanding the relationships among self-ascribed gender traits, social desirability, and ambivalent sexism

The stereotypical gender traits used in self-descriptions could contribute to shape ambivalent sexist attitudes toward women, including antipathy toward women who appear to threaten the gender hierarchy (i.e., hostile sexist attitudes) and affection for women who embrace traditional feminine roles (i.e., benevolent sexism). Empirical evidence associates more stereotypically feminine traits with benevolent sexism and masculine traits with hostile sexism but does not offer a clear picture, likely because of the non-controlled effect of social desirability and other gender traits in those relationships. We examine whether self-ascribed masculine traits moderate the modulating influence of social desirability in the linkage between feminine traits and benevolent sexism, and whether self-ascribed feminine traits moderate the modulating effect of social desirability in the association between masculine traits and hostile sexist attitudes. Results reveal that stereotypical gender traits and social desirability are connected to benevolent and hostile sexism, although differently. The gendered profile of those with benevolent attitudes (i.e., participants who self-attribute largely feminine traits) is different from those with hostile attitudes (i.e., participants who self-ascribe mainly masculine traits). In addition, the need to gain others’ approval or, more importantly, to avoid their disapproval, leads individuals to offer more socially desirable responses that mask their hostility toward women, whereas this need is less evident when hiding benevolent attitudes. As benevolent sexism is more pervasive in society and, unlike hostile sexism, is not easily recognized as a type of prejudice, it is harder to counteract and, therefore, to eliminate.

The suicide rate is increasing at an alarming pace, even among university students. Thus, this study attempted to identify suicidal ideation among university students through the perspective of love relationships (love satisfaction, love styles) and gender differences. A random sampling method has been carried out to collect the data. Analysis of the responses demonstrated that love relationship satisfaction was not associated with suicidal ideation among university students. On the other hand, there is a positive relationship between love styles and suicidal ideation among university students. Furthermore, love styles have a positive association with love relationship satisfaction. In addition, there is a significant difference between genders in suicidal ideation among university students, with females having higher suicidal ideation than males.
