• Score 1: Hostile sexism toward women score (HS).

HS 0-5 1.73 (SD=.84) 2.38 (SD=.78)

BS 0-5 2.20 (SD=.84) 2.53 (SD=.74)

• Cronbach’s alphas, HS, BS: .80, .77.

• Correlations between HS and BS: .31 (males), .45(females).

• Glick et al. (2000) administered the ASI to participants in 19 countries (e.g., Australia, Botswana, Cuba, Germany, Japan, the Netherlands, South Korea, US):

(a) HS and BS are positively correlated with one another.

(b) Males obtain higher scores on HS than females.

12

(e) National scores on HS and BS among males and females are negatively correlated with national scores on gender equality.

(c) Males obtain higher scores on BS than females.
