Androgyny: Is It Really the Product of Educated, Middle-Class Western Societies?

Ravinder, Shashi

Journal of Cross-Cultural Psychology, v18 n2 p208-20 Jun 1987

Examination of the sex role identity of college students in India and in Australia reveals that sex role transcendence is the product of educated, middle-class Western societies. Androgyny, on the other hand, is more predominant in certain traditional cultures, such as the India culture, and particularly predominant among Indian males. (PS)
