Question 2
Suppose you conducted a research study using the Bem Sex Role Inventory (BSRI), the classic measure through which Sandra Bem developed the notion of androgyny. You have yet to examine your data, but your research advisor conducted some preliminary analyses. She suggested you read Auster and Ohm (2000 ) before your next meeting, as it would likely help explain the observed patterns of data. Which of the following trends would be MOST likely, if your data is consistent with that of Auster and Ohm (2000)?
A) Many sample participants would be considered gender-role undifferentiated.
B) There is a bit of noise in the data because the masculinity items may not be correctly categorized.
C) Femininity scores are unusually high among male participants.
D) The androgyny index for all participants seems to be inflated.
