“…Although some scales were available among Turkish scales, the Religiosity Scale, which was developed by Mutlu (1989) for the Muslim population, was selected and used in the current study. The scale has been shown to have adequate validity and reliability in previous research (Taşdemir & Sakallı-Ugurlu, 2010). However, future efforts to measure religiosity should pay particular attention to find out different dimensions of religiosity.…”

This study examined the relationships between religiosity levels and attitudes toward lesbians and gay men among freshmen university students in Turkey. The Attitudes Towards Lesbians and Gay Men Scale-Short Form and the Religiosity Scale were administered to 91 male (M = 19.95, SD = 1.48 years) and 171 female (M = 19.23, SD = 1.28 years) students. The findings showed that male freshmen (M = 19.32, SD = 4.97) had more negative attitudes toward gay men than toward lesbians (M = 17.84, SD = 5.25), p = .000. In addition, attitudes of male freshmen were significantly more negative toward gay men (M =19.32, SD = 4.97) than females (M = 17.51, SD = 5.73), p = .012. Both male and female freshmen students who had higher levels of religiosity were found to have higher levels of negative attitudes toward both lesbians and gay men.

“…However, this conclusion should not lead us to overlook the negative implications of benevolent sexism for women inside, as well as outside, the home. Indeed, benevolent sexism is positively related to ideologies and values which encourage traditional gender roles (Eastwick et al, 2006;Feather, 2004;Glick et al, 2002;Sibley, Wilson, & Duckitt, 2007;Taşdemir & Sakallı-Ugurlu, 2010;Viki, Abrams, & Hutchison, 2003). It is also negatively related to women's participation in economies and in politics across nations (Glick et al, 2000) and to women's interests in education, career goals, and earning money (Rudman & Heppen, 2003).…”

Prescription of Protective Paternalism for Men in Romantic and Work Contexts

Behavioral prescription specifies how people ought to act. Five studies investigated prescription for men of protective paternalism, a particular form of benevolent sexism, depending on contextual and individual factors. In Studies 1 and 2, female participants prescribed for men more protective paternalistic behavior toward women in a romantic than in a work context. In Study 3, male participants prescribed the same level of protective paternalistic behavior as female participants did. Conversely, more gender egalitarianism was prescribed for men in a work than in a romantic context (Studies 1–3). In Study 4, the same protective paternalistic behavior was labeled as intimacy in a romantic context but was identified to the same extent as intimacy and as sexism in a work context. In Study 5, female participants’ benevolent sexist beliefs predicted their prescription of protective paternalistic behavior for men in both contexts. These studies demonstrated that prescription of protective paternalism for men is a complex phenomenon because it depends on contextual as well as individual variables. These findings need to be added to the list of factors explaining how this particular form of sexism is maintained within gender relationships and how it contributes to women’s subordination.

“…However, other investigations did not find gender differences in BS (Chen et al 2009;Eastwick et al 2006;Expósito et al 1998;Lameiras & Rodríguez, 2002;Lameiras et al 2006;Pereira et al 2005;Sakalli-Ugurlu, 2010;Sakalli-Ugurlu et al 2007;Tasdemir & Sakalli-Ugurlu, 2010;Vaamonde, 2010). The differences may be explained by the age differences of the samples of the studies, because many of them were only carried out with university students.…”

“…Some studies have reported that men score significantly higher in HS and BS (Feather, 2004;Feather & Boeckmann, 2007;Forbes, Adams-Curtis & White, 2004;Forbes, Collinsworth, Jobe, Braun & Wise, 2007;Fowers & Fowers, 2010;Garaigordobil & Aliri, 2011a, 2011bGlick & Fiske, 1996;Glick, Diebold, Bailey-Werner & Zhu, 1997;Lameiras & Rodríguez, 2003;Lameiras, Rodríguez, Calado, Foltz & Carrera, 2007;Lee, Pratto & Li, 2007;Liang, 2007;Masser & Abrams, 1999;Pozo, Martos & Alonso, 2010;Russel & Trigg, 2004;Travaglia, Overall & Sibley, 2009;Viki, Abrams & Hutchison, 2003;Wiener & Hurt, 2000;Wiener, Hurt, Russell, Mannen & Gasper, 1997).

Título: Sexismo y alexitimia: Correlaciones y diferencias en función del género, la edad, y el nivel de estudios. Resumen: El estudio tuvo como objetivos analizar diferencias en función del género, la edad y el nivel de estudios en sexismo y alexitimia, en una muestra no-clínica y en otra clínica; y explorar la relación entre ambos constructos. Se utilizó una metodología descriptiva y correlacional de corte trasversal. El Inventario de Sexismo Ambivalente (Glick y Fiske, 1996) y La Escala de Alexitimia de Toronto (Parker et al. 1993) fueron administrados. La muestra estaba configurada con 989 participantes del País Vasco de 18 a 65 años. Los resultados pusieron de relieve: 1) Puntuaciones significativamente superiores en los hombres en sexismo (hostil, benevolente y ambivalente), y en alexitimia (dificultades para expresar emociones y pensamiento orientado al exterior), en ambas muestras; en la puntuación total en alexitimia los hombres tuvieron puntuaciones significativamente más altas úni-camente en la muestra no-clínica; 2) A partir de los 55 años se evidenció un aumento significativo del sexismo benevolente, ambivalente, de las dificultades para identificar emociones, del pensamiento orientado al exterior y de la puntuación total en alexitimia (únicamente en la muestra no-clínica); sin embargo, en sexismo hostil y en dificultades para expresar emociones no se observaron cambios con la edad; 3) Una disminución del sexismo y la alexitimia a medida que aumenta el nivel de estudios; y 4) Correlaciones significativas positivas entre sexismo y alexitimia. Palabras clave: Sexismo; alexitimia; personalidad; psicopatología; género. Abstract:The goals of the study were to analyze differences as a function of gender, age, and educational level in sexism and alexithymia in a nonclinical and in a clinical sample, and to explore the relation between these constructs. A descriptive and correlational cross-sectional methodology was used. The Ambivalent Sexism Inventory (Glick & Fiske, 1996) and the Toronto Alexithymia Scale (Parker et al. 1993) were administered. The sample comprised 989 participants from the Basque Country, aged between 18 and 65 years. The results revealed: 1) Significantly higher scores in the males in sexism (hostile, benevolent, and ambivalent) and in alexithymia (difficulties to express emotions and external-oriented thinking) in both samples; in the total alexithymia score, the males had significantly higher scores only in the nonclinical sample; 2) As of 55 years of age, a significant increase in benevolent and ambivalent sexism, and in difficulties to identify emotions, external-oriented thinking, and in the total alexithymia score were observed (only in the nonclinical sample); however, no changes with age were observed in hostile sexism and in difficulties to express emotions; 3) A decrease in sexism and alexithymia as the educational level increased; and 4) Significant positive correlations between sexism and alexithymia.
