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.

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.
