摘要：AbstractThe aim of this study was to apply the masculinity and femininity scales of Bem Sex Role Inventory (BSRI) Turkish version (Özkan, T., Lajunen, T., 2005) is among Toros University students in Mersin, Turkey. Four hundred fifty-one students (262 women and 189 men) volunteered to complete the short-form of the Bem Sex Role Inventory (BSRI) Turkish version. The masculinity and femininity scores were compared between men and women. Men scored higher on masculinity (M = 96.10, SD = 16.11). Similarly, women scored higher on femininity (M =102.87, SD = 17.41). Comparisons between men and women showed a statistically significant difference on the masculinity scale of the BSRI, t(449) = −4.36, p<0.001, and there was significant difference on the femininity scale of the BSRI, t(449) = 5.21, p < .001. There was no significant difference on the androgyny scale of BSRI, t(449) = 0.87, p=0.383. Table lists item means and SD for men and women and the corresponding t-test values. Table shows that significant differences were found on eight items of the masculinity scale of the BSRI (items 10, 13, 31, 40, 46, 49, 55 and 58), whereas a statistically significant difference between men and women was found on twelve femininity items (items 2, 11, 14, 17, 20, 26, 32, 35, 38, 47, 50 and 59). There were also significant differences between men and women only on two “androgyny” items of the BSRI (items 21 and 33).
