The Relationship between Sex Role Identification and Juvenile Delinquency in Adolescent Girls.

Mannarino, Anthony P.; Marsh, Marion E.

Adolescence, v13 n52 p643-52 Win 1978

Two subgroups of delinquent girls: antisocial offenders and sexual delinquents, were compared to a matched group of nondelinquent girls on the Gough Femininity Scale. Both delinquent groups showed deviant conscious sex roles, the antisocial group having extremely masculine identification and the sexual delinquents slightly exaggerated femininity. (Author/SJL)
