University Students' Hostility towards Males: The Influence of Relationship Status and Role Model


 

Seminar paper from the year 2017 in the subject Psychology - Social Psychology, grade: A+, University of Abertay Dundee (Psychology), course: Social Psychology, language: English, abstract: The aim of this study was to examine whether the two variables relationship status and role model have an influence on hostility towards males. 81 undergraduate psychology students of the Abertay University Dundee (UK) filled out two questionnaires. The Ambivalent Sexism Inventory was used in the first questionnaire and the Ambivalence Towards Men Inventory in the second questionnaire to measure sexist attitudes. It was predicted that participants' relationship statuses and role models would influence their mean score on hostility towards males (HM). Results demonstrated that there was no influence of relationship status or role model on hostility towards males. It was concluded that sexism and ambivalent attitudes are influenced by a variety of factors which need further consideration in future research.
