Sex Role Development as a Function of College Expression.

Lyons, Deborah S.; Green, Samuel B.

Sex Roles, v18 n1-2 p31-40 Jan 1988

To evaluate the effect of college experience on androgyny, 139 freshmen and 57 senior women completed the Bem Sex Role Inventory (BSRI), and other tests. The results did not support the hypothesis that women become more masculine in college. However, the seniors did obtain significantly lower scores than freshmen on the BSRI Femininity scale.
