Wright, Thomas L.; Sharp, Edwin G.

Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, v47 n1 p72-85 Feb 1979

Extends sex bias research to personality measures, distinguishes two new types of sex bias, and provides a methodology for testing these biases. Findings suggest the two aspects of trust are sex linked. The hypothesis that more important trusting decisions are made toward men is questioned. (Author/BEF)
