The article presents a study which explored the relationship of sex role identity and social and political attitudes. The value attached to sex role identity have a distinct social consequence. Evidently the value of appropriate sex typed behaviors forms a basis for normal and controlled social order. When sex role differentiation or morality is upset, the entire fabric of society is in some way threatened. In this regard, each of the factors would augur a unique brand of potential social disintegration, a position over which some political factions become quite vociferous. The political liberalism factor pits men against men. The discrimination items imply the merging of men and women. Birth control and sex role identity imply the preservation of normative structure and the dignity and stability of sex and marriage. But again, the present data indicate that stability, dignity and control refer as well to the internal components of sex role identity and, even more so, to the interaction of these components with social and cultural phenomena. The population studied consisted of men and women from communities designated working class. middle class and upper class. Controlling for the effects of age, sex, marital status, occupation, education and political party preference, results indicate statistically significant associations between conscious and unconscious masculinity and feminist and attitudes toward all five categories if issues. The pattern of associations, however, are not always consistent. |
