Concept
Gender Roles and Study Habits: Methods and Findings
- 50 males and 82 females were presented with the Personal Attributes Questionnaire and with a modified version of the Study Habits Inventory
- Males reported greater masculine traits and females reported greater feminine traits, but males and females did not differ in reported study habits
- To find out what aspects of masculinity are most related to study habits in females, they conducted a stepwise multiple regression analysis using the 8 masculine items from their survey
- Two items combined accounted for 23% of the variation in study habits-- being independent and making decisions easily. However, such masculine characteristics are predictors of effective study habits only in females.
