title: Androgyny, sex-role orientation, and homosexism.
abstract: In a study of the relationship between homosexism and both psychological androgyny and normative sex-role orientation, questionnaires were administered in 87 males and 119 female college students. Results indicate that males were less androgynous, more traditional in sex-role orientation and more homosexist than females. Homosexism was significantly related to sex-role orientation among males and to both androgyny and sex-role orientation among females. Homosexism appeared to contribute to maintaining traditional sexual differentiation among both males and females. This occurred more on the normative than on the psychological level.
