| Summary: | Data on 326 students from three universities were collected to investigate the general relationship between religiosity and sex role stereotyping (i.e., “macho”). Results from a one-way analysis of variance indicated students' macho scores do not vary significantly across major categories of religious affiliation, and bivariate relationships between attendance at religious services, belief orthodoxy, communal participation, religious orientation (intrinsic religiosity), and macho all appeared to be low (−.105 to .123) and statistically non-significant. Despite the limitations of the data and the possibility of considerable variation in the relationships between religiosity and social attitudes across the life cycle, the findings call into question the belief that religiosity is presently strongly linked to, and may actually foster, the acceptance of traditionalistic sex role stereotypes among a highly educated segment of the population. |
