title: Gender stereotypes: a bias against men.
abstract: In a class on the psychology of male roles, 38 undergraduates (18 men, 20 women) participated in an activity designed to assess gender stereotypes. A chi-square analysis revealed that participants produced significantly more negative stereotypes for men than for women. These results, consistent with crosscultural findings, are discussed in terms of methodological issues and the differential socialization of men and women.
