Sexism: Ambivalence toward men
Journal Title: Journal of Human Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 13, Issue 1
Abstract
Objective. The objective of the study is to test the Ambivalence toward Men Inventory (AMI) that is developed for the purpose of estimating the ambivalence of women towards men on the basis of Ambivalent Sexism.Method. The sample consists of 421 university students. A survey questionnaire was used in the research in order to determine the socio-demographic properties of the participants, and AMI was used in order to measure their social sexism tendencies.Findings. The general average of AMI is 4,22; and it was seen that men and women have ambivalence above the average towards each other. By gender, there is a significant difference between hostile attitudes towards men (HM) (t(421)=-15,33 p<0,05), and benevolent attitudes towards men (BM) (t(421)=-5,18 p<0,05). Sub-factor correlations showed that there is a significant relationship between HM and BM. In contrast with women, encountering a significant relationship between only maternity and compensatory gender differentiation in men showed that women’s domestic responsibilities and maturity are determinative in the development of benevolent behaviours in men towards women.Discussion. The positive relationship observed between HM and BM in AMI shows that women participants resist the male-dominant system on the one hand, while they also have the tendency to justify and support this system.
